Hi all,

This site

        http://dev.bell.wd-2.net

works fine in FF/Safari, but it's still lacking in IE.  The problem is  
with the :hover behavior of the navigation links.

Notes:

1) I've got Dean Edward's brilliant-but-unfortunately-named "IE7"  
package in the loop here (I use it for all my sites);

2) Notwithstanding (1), a bit of extra coercion is still needed to  
beat IE into submission.  This comes in the file "IE/fix.css" that's  
loaded in a conditional comment (no hacks in this file, only extra  
normal CSS rules that are needed to make IE behave).  But still, there  
are problems...

3) In IE7 (that is, "IE7, The Browser") the menus mostly work.  There  
is a problem with "falling off" or losing the hover as you try to move  
from the triggering element (the primary nav link) down into the  
secondary nav menu.  Not sure what to do about it.  There are  
currently some positioning tweaks in place to deal this problem (or  
something much like it) that I was seeing in IE6 (see below) (and  
perhaps also in FF & Safari, I can't remember now).  Anyway, whatever  
I did, it's not enough in IE7, and I don't know if the fix is going to  
be "the same but more of it", or if there's some better way...

4) IE6 has a whole different problem.  The secondary nav menu looks  
good when you first trigger it by hovering over the primary menu item,  
but then when you slide down onto the secondary menu proper, the width  
explodes to 100%.  What the heck!?!?!

Ideas/suggestions much appreciated! :-)

cheers,
