What sort of menus can I make with CSS?

There are practically no limits to what you can do with CSS, the trick is figuring out how to make it do what you want! Or another way of looking at it is: what sort of ideas can you come up with to use CSS in a new (and hopefully useful) way?

Here are just a few common things you’ll see sites do with CSS:

  • Drop-down menus that show up when you hover your mouse over them
  • Pull-up menus, that go up instead of down
  • Horizontal menus
  • Nested hierarchical menus
  • Menus with images in them
  • Stylized borders
