Drop down navigation with layered graphic with links won't work in IE

[vampi1]

I have a rollover graphic that drops down another graphic that is layered. The layered graphic has links on it that are mapped. In IE you can rollover the graphic and get the drop down graphic, but when you go towards the link to click the graphic goes away.
It works perfectly in Netscape, the drop down will stay up as long as the mouse is anywhere on it and you can click on the links that are mapped on the graphic and they work.
I should mention that all graphics are absolutly positioned and that I am using Dreamweaver to develop this.
I hope this makes sense to some one out there. Please help! ;-)

Well, let's see the code or a link to it then ayy, mate? jared@aauser.com

Yes I know, I have had this EXACT problem, and infuriating it is. IE seems to think that rolling over a link in a div is a mouseout event of the div.

I got around this by capturing the mouseover event, and changing the color of the link onmouseover, by resetting its className. This was kind of an accident I think so you may have to fiddle around with it, but I know I got it to work!

Internet explorer has it's flaws too... -Ben "Alright whatever man, I'll hook up the hair, but I aint touchin the ring...Cause I'm still a pla--yer"

It's not a flaw, its just how the event handling system works. ) jared@aauser.com

Look, I know you guys love I.E. I don't mean any disrespect! However I think I.E. is fallible, you know like the plugins debacle!
