I love Wowhead's super fast and intuitive mouseover menu system. How are they made? Is it CSS? Does Wowhead have a specific tutorial somewhere that they used to create their menu system?

You are correct, sir.
And I'm afraid I don't have a tutorial up. We have to keep SOME secrets, don't we? ;)

Well, the one beautiful thing about web pages is that whatever you see can be dissected, for the most part. You wanna know how they did it, all you have to do is view the source for their HTML, their JavaScript and their CSS.
Obfuscation notwithstanding. Sometimes actually being able to
read
it is kind of hard depending how crazy the obfuscation is :).

I tried disecting your JavaScript. I wanted to gouge out my eyes... 1
very
long line of code...
Sounds like some of the stuff I get off Wowace. Makes it extremely hard to dissect code :/

btw Corgan... your bold is white... one of us! one of us!
Yeah usually I start by replacing all ';' with ';\r\n' and then continue adding newlines after things like } and { and then run an auto-indenting script in Notepad++. It makes it a bit easier to read, but then there are the lovely variable names like ... a, b, q and z.
