I don’t really know jscript very well however am asked to give it a go !!!
I’m aware that the problem only occurs on the sub menus using IE7. The menu also uses CSS however I don’t think this is the problem.
If someone could just point me in the right direction - hopefully I can solve the problem

Thanks for having a look

your main problem is the fact that the code is using antiquated "browser sniffing" to determine which browser a user is utilizing:

Code: 
var ie5=document.all&&document.getElementById
var ns6=document.getElementById&&!document.all
if (ie5||ns6){
    var currmenuobj=0
    var currsubmenuobj=0
}

no offense, but this is the worst possible development idea, for just this reason. new browsers are developed, and suddenly your code doesn't know what to do.

even worse, in my opinion, is that you're sending users to a different page if they use firefox!

you might try, as a quick fix, changing this:

[tt]var ie5=document.all&&document.getElementById[/tt]

to this:

[tt]var ie5 = true[/tt]

but, keep in mind that i haven't read through all of your code, as there is a ton of it. best method is to avoid the browser sniffing altogether.
