Yea, there's a lot of things that are much better done in CSS that a lot of 
people don't even know about. For example, most rollovers are easily doable 
in pure CSS. But there's a lot stuff out there (paricularly things created 
in Adobe's "software") that use JS for rollovers, which doesn't even work as 
well (even with JS on).

OTOH, I don't like CSS drop-down menus. Maybe it's different in CSS3, but in 
CSS2 the only way to make CSS menus work is for them to open upon rollover, 
not click. And dropdown menus opening upon rollover is just a usability 
mess, IMO, *and* inconsistent with pretty much any GUI OS I've ever used.
