[jQuery] problems with drop down navigation? (z-index, hover, etc.)

[jQuery] problems with drop down navigation? (z-index, hover, etc.)

I'm having a hard time figuring out what's wrong with me (or IE...probably
IE). I think I've uncovered some possible bugs in jQuery as well.
http://dev.hofcc.org/
The above site is an example of a drop down menu overlaying a rotating image
(using jQuery for both). I am using jquery-1.0a. My JavaScript for the page
can be found at http://dev.hofcc.org/js/app.js.
1. The queued effects does not work for me so I am having to use the
callback function (2nd argument for fadeOut. See line 11 in app.js)
2. $().hover does not seem to work in the new version of jQuery so I am
using mouseover and mouseout.
3. The sub menus have a z-index of 100 (set in /css/main.css line 92) and
I've given the rotating images a z-index of 1 (in main.css line 46). In
Firefox things seem to stack up ok but IE is not ok.
4. Has anyone found a way to keep the menus open while the mouse leaves the
triggering element?
Any input would be appreciated!
Thanks,
-A
