Sub-menu doesn't stay open in IE

This problem doesn't show in Opera or Mozilla, but in IE 6 (haven't been able to test yet in earlier versions of IE) anything deeper than 2 tiers doesn't stay open.

The example is at http://www.build-survey.com . Start with the Products menu item and go down, try to select one of the items on the third tier. The menu collapses.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

NB: Sorry for the slow load, the Flash isn't optimized.

Move this script up under the <body> tag:

Code:

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/Menu/milonic_src.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
      <script   language=JavaScript>
      if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/Menu/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
        else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/Menu/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
      </script>

These things might cause a problem in some browsers:

aI("text=;");
// Sub Menus Style
// Main Menu Style
subimagepadding="2px"; remove the quotes

I'm not sure what this might do:
GrayMenuHeader = "fontsize=11px;fontweight=normal;padding=2px 5px 2px 10px";
BlueMenu = "oncolor=#01669A;offcolor=#01669A;padding=2px 5px 2px 10px";
AdminMenu = "oncolor=#CC3300;offcolor=#CC3300";

I simply had to adhere to the example found at http://www.milonic.com/menusample.php?sampleid=9 regarding relatively positioned menus. Now it works.

I had put the main menu and all child menus in the menu_data.js file, but the recommendation is to have just the child menu data in the menu_data.js file, and have the main menu (that is relatively positioned) written out on the page where the menu should appear.

Thanks very much for you time in answering my post!
