Hi all

Can any one provide examples of sites that use mouse hover interactions such
as GAP.com?

they don't have to be particularly good or usable examples.

Thanks

In Amazon, for example:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764526413/qid=1148642210/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-9279188-7399308?s=books&v=glance&n=283155
there is hover interaction (is this what you mean?) in the book cover
and in the "See all 34 product categs" tab.
It's similar to a foldout menu, only here they have provided ample
margins to avoid the annoying problem of when the user moves the
pointer slightly ouside the area and everything unfolds.

some of my favorite hover effects are on the Hank III discussion board.. It's a nice fade done with JavaScript.

Thanks for the examples, I should have said I am looking for specifically
fly-out menu type interactions such as the amazon one.

side with the mai/messenger/etc. buttons.

Here's a cool article on hover that may be of interest. It summarizes
examples very nicely.

Check out Netflix's use when you move the mouse over a movie title.
