Could you please mention the two questions in the subject? That would
make it easier to search the archive.

http://www.kontera.com/ is the company offering them. Personally I
consider them very disruptive to reading the examples and made me stop
visiting http://www.devarticles.com/. I
If you want an own implementation of how to create popups like that
you can use the YUI

Question though: Why would you want to build them in CSS? Do you know
any benefit of creating them using CSS as opposed to using HTML and
JavaScript?
I'm asking because this is a very common question here and it'll be
good to know what makes people think CSS is a good technology for
this.

Personally I could think of 4 reasons against CSS (without any
JavaScript backup) for it:

- No keyboard access on most - even modern - browsers
- No chance to test if the user agent can support them (with JS you
can test for support and even for a mouse)
- No chance to delay the hiding of the menu in case the user is not
able to use the mouse steadily or in a straight line
- No chance to determine if the next menu level will be shown outside
the current viewport and cause scrollbars ( you can with JavaScript )
