Well I learned how to make um in Fireworks / Dreamweaver MX a while back but looking at the code was downright scary. Best of luck to you!

There is no mouseover dropdown on that site - at least none that work with opera anyway

For a standards compliant (pure css) way of doing this take a look at
Pure CSS Menus

here is... try put your mouse over the word "hardware" on the top right section of the page.

Well, uhm, yeah there is for you, and probably for a lot of other folks as well. The problem with this site is that it doesn't work for everyone - they are using software specific code techniques that doesn't work for everything. This is considered a "junked-out" or "improper" way of doing things in the computer realm... If you are going to make a website it needs to be viewable by everyone!

What CaffeineAndStuff is suggesting is that you use a method that will comply with all CSS-capable browsers, that way it works for anyone on any modern browser... as opposed to only working for those using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
 
Just a note, the W3C sets the standard for making websites the "proper" way and hence accessible to more people (i.e. people using different browsers, disabled individuals, etc).

dude, get off your high horse! Less than 1% of the users out there use Opera. Developing for the majority of your audience should be what you do if you want to please your customers. Maybe from an idealist standpoint, making sure your code works on all browsers would be best. But most people don't have the time, or the money, or the patience to make sure something works for 1% of the websurfing population. I agree though, that making sure your code is standards compliant, but going out of your way for Opera users seems like a waste of time to me. Get Mozilla if you have a moral-objection to IE.
