[WEB4LIB] Dropdown Menu Dominance in IE

[Terry Nikkel]

There is specific information about this issue at 
http://webreference.com/dhtml/diner/seethru/.  We use a product called 
Hiermenus, http://www.hiermenuscentral.com, to build menus, and their 
latest version (6) has a work around for this problem that works for IE 
5.5+, described here: http://www.hiermenuscentral.com/faq/faq1.html. We 
bought it but have not yet had time to implement and test it.
