Wixus... I know how to write the code to actually do the animation. The problem I'm finding is that when the animation kicks off, it'll throw off the rest of the layout.

How to accomplish this navigation rollover effect? just put the "hint" unto a some block, for example <em>. and this block in your nav ul li or something. make <li> tag displaying block and position relative em is a absolute block width:0; left:(li.width); then jquery: $('li").hover(function() { $(this).find("em").animate({width:XX},300); },function() { $(this).find("em").animate({width:0},300) }); XX is the width of a hint 300 is a ms for animation effect
