hi,

Am nearly finished my first website but this issue won't go away and it's driving me crazy.

www.leehughes.co.uk

As you can see I have a drop down menu at the top. The problem is a couple of my friends have reported trouble trying to access the sub menus. They can hover over the main choice but when they move the mouse down to select a link the links disappear. it's not like they can not be selected though if you press ctrl and go down then they can be selected.

Am so puzzled and so close to the end it's driving me crazy..

Sad

		    The route home will also de dependent on a number of things. At this point in time the plan is to buy land in a different country than England and live a more simple life. Where this country lies is currently unknown but the final ride home will be heavily influenced by his new home.		    </p>

update... I have narrowed

update...

I have narrowed down the problem to that of IE does not like the code I put in for the transparent colour as my backround

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

My aim is to get the drop down background to transparent then when hover over the link background goes black with white font colour to highlight the link..

Is there a code for a transparent background that works well with MSIE?

thanks
