I will definitely look at jquery - Now my boss just sent a msg about the "Mega Dropdown Menus"  like on foodnetwork.com

I'm on a short time line and I'm just trying to get ahead of the curve.

Associating an Ajax call with the action is no problem — but if you want to
build this whole thing from scratch with all these fancy asynchronous
javascript effects and have little experience of javascript, I would
strongly recommend jQuery [http://jquery.com], because it makes operations
like this very easy to find in their documentation [http://docs.jquery.com/]
and write. It would then be easy to write some mathematical calculations for
positioning animation to get the menu items to slide rather than jump into
place, change the colour in a transition, etc.
