I've seen this, and worked around it by setting a min-height on the

you remove the last content, and you can't get anything to go back into

but it becomes practically impossible.

Walter's right - the <UL> is still there, it's just 0px high so you can't get it to trigger any mouseover events.

Your <UL> tags are followed by a &nbsp; character, presumably to create the bottom grey border of each list in the layout. If you use CSS instead (set padding-bottom to, say, 8px), you'll get finer control of the height of this border, and you can make it part of the <UL> tag, so it'll still receive events when it's empty.
