Question: I am trying to create a dropdown menu based on Stu Nicholls' : <http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/pro_drop8.html>

Mine needs to go over *Select* dropdowns and be IE6/7 compliant, so that's why I'm using all this iFrame nonsense. Changing z-index will not fix it because IE set an infinite zindex value to select dropdowns.

So my problem is that if I copy and paste (litterally, no changes made) the dropdown menu from the website to my application it will work fine in everything except IE6 where it will "blink". Meaning that everytime you hover over a different menu entry it will disapear for a small instant and then appear again. I think it's because IE6 consider that you're not hovering the menu anymore when you actually are.

I tried everything and browsed google for hours without finding a dropdown menu working. Do you know what could cause this problem (and maybe how to fix it) ?

Thanks -

Answer: 
I hate to be "that guy" who suggests you use something else, so don't try this if you're set on using Nicholls' code. But if you're not sold on Stu Nicholls' dropdown menus, you could check out [YUI's menus](http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/menu/). I specifically mention those because I've had great success with their iframe-to-fix-ie6-bugs support. (At the very least, you could use their sample code to see if IE6 behaves nicely with others' dropdown menus or if it's just something with Nicholls'.)
I don't know if this is necessarilly what you need but the [jQuery bgiframe plugin](http://plugins.jquery.com/project/bgiframe) handles the select problem pretty cleanly so you don't have to do everything manually. 

Hope that helps.
