popup baloon box

[Xah Lee]

go to amazon.com
and hover your mouse to the "see all 32 product categories" tab. Then,
a big popup baloon will show. (on OS X, Firefox. Won't show in Safari.)

how is this done? i'm guessing this is not Flash?

As I said, with Javascript. But, onclick it sets a div's display to
visible and none.
