 * Please see the web site “http//www.gifts.com
 * On the mouseover of the horizontal menu you will see the dropdown menu showing“
   Search by Occasion,” “Top Categories,” and “Shop by Price.” (each with 2 columns
   in the viewing area.)
 * The question is, “How can I create a similar menu? (One with 2 columns of links
   rather than 1 column (as it is now) that expands beyond the vertical viewing 
   area thus making it difficult to see all of the possible selections under that
   heading options. This will give me more space and make the horizontal menu easier
   for visitors to navigate.
 * Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

 * This is done using CSS. You assign a width to the LI list items on the dropdown
   menu that is less than half the width of the container UL that holds the LI’s.
   You float the LI’s left. Since two of them will fit in one row, the natural behavior
   of floated list items is to display side by side. When they run out of room (
   after two have displayed) they start displaying at the left side of the next 
   row.
 * Its a little tricky to set up if you are not very familiar with CSS (as are drop
   down menus). Google for something like “two column drop down menu” and you will
   find some articles on the technique.
