Cascading Style Sheets Level 3
CSS level 3 is currently under development. The W3C maintains a CSS3 progress report. CSS3 is modularized and will consist of several separate recommendations. The W3C CSS3 Roadmap provides a summary and introduction.

A butterfly is any of several groups of mainly day-flying insects of the order Lepidoptera, the butterflies and moths.
Like other holometabolous insects, butterflies' life cycle consists of four parts, egg, larva, pupa and adult. Most species are diurnal.
Butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight.

Special offer information
'Drop Everything' uses no images for the general layout and round buttons and degrades well in older browsers.

Information
The ONLY gaphic used in this menu is the photograph of the butterfly, all the rest of the demo is down to css3 styling.
As with the last menu, this works in all browsers but some get better styling than others. The only three 'final release' browsers that can reproduce all these styles are the latest releases of Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome, but I am informed that the next release of Opera will be able to correctly style this menu. I will add the additional styles when the new version of this browser is released.
So Firefox, Safari and Chrome will have all the styles radius corners, text-shadows, linear gradient fills, and radial gradient fills, all other browsers will have plain boxes and text.
This is just a demonstration of what will be possible with css3 once all browsers support this. But if you don't mind some browsers not seeing the full styling then you can move over to this menu now.
