    It works via a JavaScript mouseover that is simply displaying a new DIV that is normally hidden. The DIV, in turn, has the sub-menu items.

    Its just a hyperlink

    Like this

    <a href="go_to_here_when_clicked.htm" >Dispaly</a>

    You would replace Display with whatever text your want displayhed as the link on the page.

    go_to_here_when_clicked.htm is the page the broser will load when the link is ckicked. The href can be a full url like "http://www.domain.com/pages/index.htm%22 or a relatice url like "pages/index.htm" or just a filename like "index.htm"

    The reason these dont look like a normal link is because of the CSS styles and DHTML used.

    If you right click on the page and hit view source you can see the page code so you can tell what language they used to make it.

    That's just html used to show more information. Rather basic, and crappy to use because it lacks a lot of functionality that you would take for granted in other languages.
