I've made another pass at it.

I currently am facing two problems. One of them is general IE6
compatibility. I am at a loss as to why it's not working out there
right now - but the testing is interesting. It DOES manage to display
correctly at certain points in the hover. But I need help in
understanding what is happening under the hood - which classes are
being applies and why the menu fails over all. I think the problems
here are related to the changes I made in order to make the sub nav
level reach the full width of the nav bar - something you have to do
in order to make the menu useful. (see the original example and hit
the last menu item, and then try to reach one of it's sub items to see
why this is a problem)

Second problem is less apparent but equally devastating, and it's
happening basically with all other browsers - and I think might be
related to the IE 6 bug or the changes I needed to make to get the sub
nav to run full width.

The error can be experienced by activating one of the last two or
three menu items and then mousing into the sub nav. About every 3rd or
4th time after activating the sub menu for some reason the sub menu
reverts to the current menu. As if you have moused out of the area
altogether. Only you haven't. At least not visibly.

Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated!
