/* this parent div does not provide "sticky hovering", but instead fixes a 
strange bug in Op7. When an element serves as a hovered popup "parent" element, 
that element must not also be floated or all heck breaks loose in Opera 7. 
To prevent this, we have floated the top level list items, while nesting 
hoverable parent divs inside that are then hovered to generate the dropdowns. 
Thus the ugly (but interesting) Op7 bug is defeated. */
