Here multiple menus are used to create popups. Just change the links to 'menu' followed by a number to create a "link" to a popup menu. This time the fifth part of the 'menu' parameter is used on menu 1 and 2 to create transparent menus. This last part consist of a second image to be used in the menu. This image defines the transparency of the menu. Fully white means completely visable and black means fully invisable. The images that are used here create a dropshadow effect.
