positioned waaaay to the right.  What you can do is just rename the
existing menu class from “ugsMenu” to “jd_menu” and
change the $(document).ready() to invoke the jdMenu plugin as opposed to
mine.  Hopefully, this should give you an idea of what I encountered. 
I used the base, jdMenu.css to test it.<o:p></o:p></span></font>

<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" target="_blank">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.  </span></font><o:p></o:p>

<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).  </span></font><o:p></o:p>

<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 ;-) </span></font><o:p></o:p>
