Your HTML/JS guy is WRONG.

First I'd didch this MX JS script your using and grab CoolMenus from
www.DHTMLCentral.com

It works back to IE 4+ and Netscape 4+.  It also works OVER select boxes and
other form elements (instead of being hidden behind like you sound like
you're experiencing).

The code is excellent and I've been using it for dynamic menuing for over
ayear with NO problems.

HTH
