Alan, I had come across changing the background color as a solution but felt that in my case since the background requires a transparent png image that would not have worked. In your article, I see that one also has the option of placing the background in the containing li of the sub menu which I'll keep in mind for next time. The position: static; seems to be working so I will just stick with that this time around. Thanks for sharing your links - they've been bookmarked!
