<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am using the jQuery.hover() event binding to create drop
down menus from an unordered list.  I attempted to use the jdMenu plugin
but the positioning wasn’t coming out right with the layout I am using (the
piefecta from <a href="http://www.positioniseverything.net/piefecta-rigid.html">http://www.positioniseverything.net/piefecta-rigid.html</a>).
 I decided it would be easier to “roll my own” than to dig
through the jdMenu code to figure out the issue.  <o:p></o:p></span></font>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>This was drop-dead simple to do using the .hover() event
binding.  This works wonderfully in FF.  Unfortunately, IE 6 has
decided to be a little…well you know how she is.  Mousing over the
menu heading works fine and the sub-menu appears underneath (as
expected).  However, as I move down, over the sub-menu, the sub-menu
disappears (not supposed to happen).  <o:p></o:p></span></font>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am attaching the source file (you may need to change the
source path location of jquery, I am using version 1.1.1).  Oh, ignore the
content of the page as it all pretty much a verbatim copy of piefecta layout
;-)<o:p></o:p></span></font>
