Un menu déroulant qui affiche les derniers articles par catégorie

Je cherchais comment faire un bandeau de menu horizontal qui affichait la liste des catégories avec au survol sur une catégorie la liste des derniers articles (pour améliorer la fonction $plxShow->catList).

J'ai trouvé mon bonheur en m'inspirant de la source suivante :
http://www.webdesignerwall.com/demo/css3-dropdown-menu/css-gradient-dropdown.html

voici donc le code à inclure dans votre thème :

<ul id="nav">
<?php
foreach($plxShow->plxMotor->aCats as $catID => $catItem){
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo $plxShow->plxMotor->urlRewrite('?categorie'.intval($catID).'/'.$catItem) ?>"><?php echo $catItem; ?></a>
<ul>
<?php $plxShow->lastArtList('<li><a href="#art_url" class="#art_status" title="#art_title">#art_title</a></li>', $catItem, $catID); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>

Et voici donc la css correspondante (un copier-coller du lien précédent) :
