I am looking for a way to do this in java or CSS… prefer CSS.

> **[Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more](https://www.amazon.com/)**

When you mouse over the main tabs on the top of the page it opens up boxes with further links.

Has anyone seen a CSS tutorial on this effect ?  
Or know the term they use to discribe it ?

Thanks.
