Probably the easiest route to take is the asp:Menu control. You can replace your asp:LinkButton controls with asp:MenuItem elements.

If you want a simple client-side solution (your question is tagged "jquery", so I suspect this is on the radar), you could put your sub-menus in <div> tags and then use the jQuery hover() function to show and hide the sub-menu <div> when the appropriate parent item is hovered.

If you have more than one or two sub-menus, you might investigate a full jQuery drop-down menu plug-in:
