This site gives you everything you need to create your own expandable banners in any dimension.

www.expandablebanners.com

You do not need a big advertising company to serve the banners, you can host all files on your website.
You can customize the dimensions. (Horizontal, Verticle, Square, Peel, Fullscreen)
They use a combination of Flash, Javascript and CSS/DHTML
They are compatible with IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera for both PC & Mac)
You can set a timer to open or close.
You can set how many times the banner opens.
These banners overlap content, not to be confused with pushing content down.
You will need to create 2 different banners, one in the original size and another in the larger expanded format.
Can be integrated into your existing websites or inserted into a banner tracking/rotating system (such as Xigla.com)
The scripts are throughly commented and easy to understand

How They work.

When you Rollover or Click the banner whichever you choose, a new DHTML Layer appears with the new expanded banner showing. When you Rolloff or Click a close button, the DHTML layer disappears and reveals the original banner. You may also set a timer allowing time for a smooth Closing Transition.

I tried using overflow:hidden and onmousover events and got frustrated too. I would use two swfs - one for the default and one for the expanded view - then you can display the 80px high version without expanding the table until mousover - ie swap the src of the flash object onmousover to the big one and onmouseout back to the small one.

thanks for your reply decibel.places, great information for me.

You should try to use a creation kit provided by your ad-serving agency or with a kit like this one if you need to manage the code in the html by yourself : Expand Banner

Thank you for your help. I have sent my guy the files and at least what we found out is that the banners code is not written to be displayed in a web page with tables. So I'm off to make a new one that will work.
Thank you again for the help and your time.
