Auto-Expanding Tree Menu

Is it possible to acheive this type of menu effect using only CSS?

It doesn’t actually have to be that complicated. I just want a menu organized with Main Items and Sub-Items. If the viewer is on a Sub-Item page then the sub-item (and sister subitems) is displayed underneath the appropriate menu item. Is that doable? Any input is appreciated. Thanks

P.S. It might help to think of it as a sort of menu representation of a breadcrumb.

@lahmayesauthorApr 28.2006 — Thank you very much for the website. I need a little help with the menu though. Lets say my tree is like so:

[CODE]
Home
Services
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Communications
Portfolio
- Healthcare
- K-12
- Higher Education
Information
Contact us[/CODE]

Now what I would like to accomplish is this. If a person is on, say, the Services, Electrical, Mechanical, or Communications page. Then I'd like the menu to look like this:

[CODE]
Home
Services
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Communications
Portfolio
Information
Contact us[/CODE]

If the person is on the Portfolio, Healthcare, K-12 or Higher Education page, then the menu should look like this:

[CODE]
Home
Services
Portfolio
- Healthcare
- K-12
- Higher Education
Information
Contact us[/CODE]

if the person is on Home, Information, or Contact us, then the menu should look like this:

[CODE]
Home
Services
Portfolio
Information
Contact us[/CODE]

Do you have any idea where to start? I'd like to use as much CSS as possible, and keep the menu in a typical block display (like on my website). Again, any information that anyone has is greatly appreciated.

Success!
