"Specialities" button:

IE is not able to determine the static position of an absolutely 
positioned block. So, if you swap left: -999px to 'auto' on hover, it 
misplaces it.

An a.p. block is positioned with respect to its containing block, 
performed by its nearest positioned anchestor. You'll have to apply 
position:relative to the .specMenu and left:0 for the hover state of the 
child .specMenu li:hover ul within.

Once the menu drops down, you'll notice that it drops behind the SELECT 
following later on. This is because a select is a windowed object in 
IE<7. A windowed object resides nearer to the visitor than all other 
elements, regardless of the z-index you might try.

There are ugly workarounds for it, but wouldn't it be better to drop the 
dropdown and use another SELECT ? Alternatively, you could try to 
arrange both the select and the dropdown in an non-intersecting way.
