believe me: the menu at the top is done *without* javascript.
(only for IE6 (browser-condition in typoscript-template) there is some 
javascript included)

and I have more than two menus on my site!
lets sketch it: (monospaced font required)

these number-areas each give an own menu:
111 is the flyout-menu with UL-LI and CSS with ':hover'. And only for IE6 
some javascript
222 is a normal side menu (just UL-LI without ':hover') with counters 
defined in typoscript
333 is the drop-down-menu where the javascript belongs to which you have 
found
444 is a navigation: back, up, next (not visible at top-level)
555 the footer is a special-hmenu (special = directory)

yes, it is defined by typoscript: look for JSMENU in TSREF 
But this is *NOT* the flyout-menu. 
it is the Drop-down rootline/breadcrumb menu at the bottom (333)

then configure your menus with wraps so it matches the definitions of 
that transmenu. in TYPO3 it is possible to generate any kind of text in a 
menu. It might be more or less complicated.
I prefer a clean wrapping just with UL and LI so search-engines can index 
and find my subpages. 
If you want to have some javascript-code it also is possible but moer 
complicated.
As I'm a (PHP)programmer it is easier for me to generate that javascript 
from an extension than by typoscript.

as far as I know IE6 handles by default only complete transparency like 
in a GIF (0%/100%) but no alpha-transparency. And the menu you described 
is alpha-transparency (40% transparency).

I found http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2007/09/18/png8-the-clear-winner/
where you can read that any alpha-transparency with png8 is shown in IE6 
as complete transparency. that will not fullfill your needs.
