Dropdown menus in CSS Layers

I am trying to implement a site with horizontal CSS Layered dropdown menus,
but I want the primary menu selection to remain shaded, while the cursor is
over any of the sub menu items, for that tab. Some of the main menu tabs are
only 60px wide, while the sub menu items may be 100px wide or more, so there
is the possibility of confusion, if the primary tab does not remain shaded.
I checked out PVII and some other commercial extensions, but I don't want to
pay $100+, if there is an easy way to achieve the same thing, with any of
the several other ways to implement a CSS dropdown menu. Incidentally, the
PVII web site does vertically, exactly what I want to do horizontally
(although I don't care for the expanding submenus).

Any ideas?

Yeah - I know. It is not a production menu. It was a proof of concept for
a client. I'm not likely to do any further work on it.

But it demonstrated the issue about which John was asking, and so I thought
I'd post it.

While it is missing an image, and I'm too lazy to upload it, and while I
don't consider this a particularly great menu, it demonstrates the
concept
nicely. Of course you would have to look at the code....

Murray,
you are probably still working on the menu, but thought I'd let you know
there is a weird problem (Firefox 0.8) when mousing over the "dining'
button, all sorts of wacky movement., The flyouts are much lower in FF
than then are in IE6 where they align with the button. Nice looking
menu
though
