If I would like to make my store look like this...
 

I would like to make a complete site overhaul and make my site look similar to the tiffanys site with a complete list of products that one could scroll through similar to this page:

http://www.tiffany.com/shopping/item.aspx?CategoryID=12&category=Jewelry&c_id=WEB1 &c_it=43C7&start_id=6&quantity=1&

anyone got any ideas on how i would start? I was thinking making all products "related products" in one section and have the format changed to the way it looks on the tiffanys site. Then change the "related products" format to have a mouseover that brings up the same image name with and added "-mobig.jpg" or something like that.

Really I'm just looking for help with starting this endeavor

Haven't Looked at Source Code...but try this
 

Create your buttons and add a null link. Then create each buttons drop-down menu as a layer. Assign show/hide behaviors to them.

I would guess that the scrolling layers (fixed width and height with a scroller or scroll-arrow) contain hard-coded menu items; not categories dynamically generated.

http://www.projectseven.com has a nice scroller that can be modified any way you wish. They also have free add-ons for Dreamweaver (such as an easy show/hide behavior panel) that will help you get this layout.

Just how I would do it....
