Hello people  
I am in a real distress - trying to make a menu looking like the one shown here:  
[http://www.fluid.nl/shockwave/index.html](http://www.fluid.nl/shockwave/index.html)  
That is a sort of “tsunami” if I get it right… On mousover, the elements nearest to the mouse grow - the nearer they are, the more they grow - like in the many examples of tsunami that you can find on the web.  
The problem I have is that as they grow, the elements should also push one another sideways, so that the menu sort of “walks” or “slides” sideways. Which is exactly what I cannot achieve…  
So, my question is: do any of you know how to make this effect? Please help me - I’m completely lost…  
Thanks in advance,  
Mikolaj
