If you do not understand what I'm about to say, save some time and go over to Sony's Web Siteand put your mouse over the links to see what I mean.

I'm designing a website, and I was wondering if anyone had any idea about how to create a list of links when a mouse is rolled over a certain link or image. I would like to know how to do that, but unfortunately I do not, and I was wondering if anyone out ther could help me.

Well, I looked into it and found that it was a type of DHTML that used &lt;div&gt; (division) tags. If anyone wants to know a little more, I'll be available later.

This probably isn't easily explained within a forum posting. But what you need can be fairly easily done with some pre-made codes from some of the popular scripting sites.

My favourite is Dynamic Drive, which has a whole heap of stuff for anything DHTML - navigation, feedback, interaction... Go explore and enjoy! They also have updated a lot of their code to be Mozilla compatible as well.
Computer thez nohhh...

Wow, thank you very much! That link was very much needed. This particular code was really tough, and it could not be simply interpreted by reading the source from pages that already have it. I originally tried WebMonkey, but it was quite difficult to locate the code.

dude... you want dhtml menus...?

you need to go to www.dhtmlcentral.com and check out CoolMenus. Really easy to set up, you can get some very funky effects, including a fade effect (on windows IE5+ only) - and best of all they are totally cross platform.

I use them all the time, if you want an example (their examples are a bit nasty): http://nottingham.headlandmultimedia.co.uk/ntubdu/

I'll post up the site when I'm done working on it to show you what I've done. I could not thank you guys more for your help.

Actually, the problem with CoolMenus is that it creates its own menu. What I have is an image on my page, from which I'm going to have the menus spread out from.
