The drop downs appear above a flash element. And some reports of the

Like Henrik, I'm curious as to why a Flash object is being used,
not a background image.
Their will be a flash presentation, the current object was for
testing the dropdowns.
I suspect the drop downs aren't appearing above the Flash properly
because its wmode is set to transparent not opaque.

Thanks
A few other issues:
(1) What's your plan for keyboard accessibility of the navigation
(or the items the navigation leads to)? At the moment, as I tab
through the page, for large swathes of the tab order there is
almost no visible focus.

http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#keyboard-operation
Make sure there's a visible focus ring.
Will investigate
(2) In your CSS, ul#mainNav a sets a height in pixels for an
anchor. This is highly unrealistic in a medium where you don't have
good control over the font size. It causes the navigation items to
overlap with font size increased merely two steps in Firefox.
Thanks
(3) The use of a background-image for the logo with the text
positioned off-screen means that if the user enforces their own
colors for increased legibility, the header _and its text_ will
likely be invisible.
What image replacement techniques do you suggest to compensate for
this issue?
