Personally, this particular method would be far better IMHO, however, 
allowing it to function in the same manner as most GUI menus in that 
there would be submenus (instead of a click to show new items on the 
existing menu, it would open another div that is a further submenu).

The only issue with this is that you will intentionally disable this 
functionality in non-DHTML compliant browsers. That may not be an issue, 
but it is worth mentioning I believe.

If you're interested, I've got the code to do all of this already (used 
it on a couple of sites), and could hack up a Horde menu in the similar 
to Style 2 that would function identically to the MS Windows Start menu, 
KDE K Menu, et. al..
