Hi Tim,
As it's apparently a site which needs javascript (for other functions), 
I think there is no problem with replacing the csshover.htc method by 
the IE hover javasscript method - the second possibility to get the 
dropdowns in IE.
I always use the great sfhover.js from the Sons of Suckerfish, never 
difficulties.
And I guess it will work in your case too, as long as you don't have the 
same variables as in one of your other scripts. ;-)

Yes, the link is:

Examples included!

You can also have a look at the Listamatic-site:
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/index.htm

and the List-o-matic wizard:

I hope this is the Esc you need!
