dropdown menus, can't figure it out. Options

[antix10_kos]

Questions that I have:

1) Can I use the code below with an image map?
2) Where do I put this code? I know the CSS part goes in "custom header" but other parts I don't where they would go.
3) Is there a code especially for drop-down menus on an imagemap? Where do u suggest that I look for a code if there isn't one??
4) How would I position this div so that it would line up with my image map links?

- As you know, adding divs moves everything around which is very annoying. To simplify things, create another div and place the popup menus inside of that and close it.
- Div id can be anything, it's just the id that the script refers to when it closes and opens the div.
- An example of a menu on the image map would be:
<......href="#" onClick="toggle('DIVID')">
where the ...... is the coordinates
