I need to make a menu that starts as a main set of categories, and when one is selected a sub menu of categories pops up to the right, and from that another sub pops up to the right and so on.

what's the best way to do this? Transitions are nice but not necessary. If someone can at least tell me what to google I would appreciate it =)

You can change the CSS to move the drop downs around how you want them.
