Your "prettier" examples work in IE 6 on XP Pro but there is a noticeable delay before the background loads so you end up with text on text for a couple of seconds (on broadband, don't know how long on dial-up.)
I expect the problem might be fixable by putting a default background color on the li:hover ul, li.over ul { display: block; } But I'm online at Starbucks right now and don't have time to play with it. If someone else does, please post a link to your results. Cheryl D.
