Hi list,

I need a hint where to look on this problem on this test site:
http://www.artopod.se/testzone/evolt/
The menu works as intended in Firebird and Opera on Windows.

This is what happens on Windows IE 5.5+ (not IE5):
If i move the cursor from "FIRST ITEM" to "SECOND ITEM" it catches the 
underlying link behaviour, and the second menu is opened.

Does anyone have a clue why this happens?

The code that is generated by javascript looks like this, FIRST ITEM 
dropdown:
<div style="visibility: hidden;" id="dropBox0">
<div class="drop dropfirst"><a href="om/">Vår filosofi</a></div>
<div class="drop"><a href="om/innan.php">Innan det händer</a></div>
<div class="drop"><a href="kontakt/">Här finns vi</a></div>
<div class="drop"><a href="om/musketor.php">Musketörprincipen</a></div>
</div>

....SECOND ITEM dropdown:
<div style="visibility: visible;" id="dropBox5">
<div class="drop dropfirst"><a href="aktuellt/">Nyheter</a></div>
<div class="drop"><a href="aktuellt/konkurs.php">Det händer vid 
konkurs</a></div>
<div class="drop"><a href="aktuellt/lankar.php">Länkar</a></div>
</div>

...

I've tried (as you can see in the style sheets) changing the z-
index....doesn't work. Other CSS things? Or is it problems in the 
javascript? (The event bubble thing?) 

Any hint - I'll be happy.

Regards,
