css-only expanding menu

This site had a really simple execution of an expanding menu, using only css:

This could totally be implemented into the indexhibit template, however, the main difference is that indexhibit's front_index plugin formats menu lists differently.

If you check out the source of that site, you'll see that the 2nd level links are enclosed in a second ul. Whereas, the front_index plugin for indexhibit closes the section title AND links under the same ul. I'm tinkering with the plugin folder index.php file right now to see if I can tweak things to make this approach useful.

It's nice because it cuts jquery out of the picture and therefore allows for slideshow and other exhibit formats to work fine.

Sorry, I posted this in the wrong section.

Slideshow uses Jquery.

Oh right, my point was that other methods of expanding/drop-down menus such as The Nine have been said to disrupt the usage of slideshow. This method obviously won't affect any of that.
