Thanks! That seemed to fix it in IE7, but the dropdown is permanently there in IE6.
As to the select, I'm going to change that to a button similar to the "Specialties" button as soon as I get it working. Thanks again for the help. Any ideas on making it work for IE6? Just because my visitors are likely to not have the latest browsers.
