problem with css/javascript drop down menu

I've been trying to find the perfect css/javascript drop down menu (something that will work with nearly everyone). After about 5 hours of searching and editing, I've got one up and running but I have a problem with it in FF. Works fine in IE but in FF you'll notice when you hover over the drop down and reach lower once it hovers over my <div> (with overflow) it will disappear. This is extremely frusterating... any help would be appreciated.

Re: problem with css/javascript drop down menu

Why have one that relies on js when you can do the whole thing with css?

Look here: http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamat...rizontal04.htm

Re: problem with css/javascript drop down menu

FF only uses the css I believe. The javascript is there for IE because I read that it has problems with css drop down menus...
I dunno - the whole thing is frusterating

I know it's frustrating, believe me. It's not true about FF only though, those menus work in IE.

Re: problem with css/javascript drop down menu

its problems with the :hover attribute...

basicly, IE only will allow this on particluar things, like links...in <ul> it gets confused...
