Thanks for the ideas, I appreciate them. What do you mean by
assigning the timing to a variable? What do I do with it after I
assign it?

For one, you are not assigning the setTimeout to a variable:
myTimer = window.setTimeout(...);
Meanwhile, the second reference to menu might be causing some
difficulties.
My thought is, re-write the code so that the DHTML statement is in
its own
function and see what happens.
Setting the timeout onmouseout rather than onmouseover is a great
idea,
too.
'Luck,
