IE6/7 issue - jQuery Dropdown menu disappears when you hover over jQuery slideshow

Hi Gents,

I've run into an issue with IE6/7, involving a jQuery dropdown menu, and a jQuery slideshow.

Basically, I have a dropdown menu, which overlaps a scrolling slideshow on the dropdown. The menu works perfectly well in IE8, FF, Safari and Opera.

However, in IE6/7, when the menu is in its dropdown state, and the cursor scrolls over the slideshow area (which is underneath the dropdown), the dropdown disappears.

I think I'm having the same issue as the poster here, but he didn't seem to find a workable solution. I've also tried fiddling with the z-index etc, but to no avail.

I can provide a link on request, but seeing as its already live, I kind of need to be careful

Thanks in advance
