1) Script Title: Anylink Drop Down Menu
2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/dropmenuindex.htm
3) Describe problem: I applied the code to my menu and the drop down function works in firefox but not in IE. Instead, IE tried to open the menu title link instead of using it to expand the drop down menu.
I would appreciate any help, thanks!
Here is my code (and I will follow this by the attached css):
