navbar

Hi folks.

I'm just putting together a simple nav bar using something similar to this tutorial: http://www.cssnewbie.com/horizontal-dropdown-menus/

The thing is, that I'd like to have the children lists first item to line up directly below the parent. Right now, they just go wherever I float them. Is there a way to do this without absolute positioning?

I'd like to achieve something similar to what these guys have in their top nav bar: http://michaelfranti.com/
