Those pop-up menu things that appear when you hover over them

Yeah, I couldn't think of the name for them. >_>

Anyways, how do you make those? I'm pretty sure that they often use lists or something like that, at least to include all of the info, but I'm totally lost to making them.

Thanks for the link, it had some interesting and nicely presented tutorials, but unfortunately I don't think it answered my question. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.

First, lets say that there is a link in the menu bar, it is all alone. Then, once the cursor hovers over it, more links pop up below it.

code:
[click here] turns into [click here] when the cursor hovers over it.
                        [milk]
                        [cheese]
                        [button]

Most menus like that are done with some sort of JavaScript and DHTML combination. Searching for something like "javascript popup menu" should yield some good results.

Sorry, I could swear I read something about the popup lists there before, but I guess I was just imagining it.

I apologize, I later found something like that there after posting.

And it was done with only CSS and HTML if I recall correctly.
