I agree that hiding the selectbox isn't as good. Nevertheless, that is what I resorted to on a recent project because I couldn't get the iframe solution to work properly (due to my inadequacy, not the iframe solution's). Since this is only an issue in IE, I also did a little browser sniffing so that the selectboxes would only hide if using that browser -- admittedly an inelegant solution. Anyway, for what it's worth, you can take a look at my drop-down-menu solution in action and feel free to borrow anything you want from it: http://www.vikinggroupinc.com/en/products/485/496 . A couple things I think actually work well is its handling of nested <ul>s and the 300ms delay before hiding a menu branch on mouseout.
