I've successfully built a drop-down toolbar type menu, following 'More 
Eric Meyer on CSS' (Proj 6).  It works fine in Firefox, but I'm having 
trouble in IE6.  I've implemented 'csshover.htc' as in Eric's project. 
It loads in IE6 but is conflicting with *.js files that I also need to load.

See http://www.mullbb.co.uk/new/ (you'll need to click or paste that as 
the root is redirected elsewhere).  Click around the menus and after a 
few pages IE will quit (usually after about six clicks, but I have got 
up to about 20).  Concentrate on the 'Booking' menu, as there are more 
JS files called.

I think I've traced the problem to a clash between 'csshover.htc' and my 
Javascript files.  If I  delete the *.js files from the server (or don't 
call them on the pages), IE6 doesn't quit.
See http://www.mullbb.co.uk/meyer/ (using Eric's CSS almost untouched, 
to eliminate another possible source of error.  (These pages only show a 
heading, no other content or functionality)

I'm using JS files that have been tested for a long time elsewhere, so 
I'm reasonably sure they are not the problem.  I've even tried a file 
containing just one very simple function (a sort of 'Hello World'), and 
IE6 still quits after a few clicks unless I comment out all the JS code.

I have tried varying the order in which the external files are called, 
but it makes no difference to this problem.

I have read about MIME type problems with WinXP SP2 and 'csshover.htc', 
and I'm looking into this.  But what I've read so far indicates that the 
hover doesn't work at all under WinXP SP2, whereas in my case it works 
for a few clicks, then quits.

Can anyone suggest a solution, please ?
