I'm constructing a fairly complex website with nightmare "trees." I see
these pop-up windows and pull-down menus as one way to avoid either
cluttering a single page up with way too much information or having
people lose track of where they are in a series of links because each
level is on a separate page.
And they don't pop-up if you don't activate them ;+).
