Thanks for your response. I was hoping to avoid making the change, but you 
may be right. I'll try your method, I'm sure it will work fine.
Do you have any idea why the down arrows wouldn't display properly in IE6/7? 
Did you see it in IE? I know it's not "semantic", but I'd sure like to find 
a quick fix and leave it as it is:

-----------------------------


I would post on Dynamic Drive's forums and/or contact the author. The 
technique (a list for the root menu and disjointed submenus) is not 
necessarily non-semantic or inaccessible. That's actually a similar 
technique to the one used by Opera for several years on its web site. That 
said, I would also not fall for the trap that because the sub-menus do not 
appear when script disabled it's bad. It's not, and so long as you organize 
your site correctly, it's arguably more accessible to prevent the sub-menus 
from being available without script and without a mouse. Scripted menus have 
many more advantages. You can Google "christian heilman, javascript menus" 
for more info and you can read this brief article:

Note that the article involves one of our products but the concept is 
applicable to any menu.

Good luck.
