Hi Kasper,

for accessibility's and cleanliness's sake: Let's keep the required JS 
to a minimum, you can do it all with CSS only (and some JS hacks for 
IE). Suckerfish dropdowns are simple <ul> which is the best practice 
almost anywhere, including TYPO3 HMENUs. We should use them as much as 
possible in any new BE interfaces:

I haven't checked with Konqueror, but the rest works for me.
