Flyout submenus do not appear from the main menu bar on the left hand side. 
These work in IE6, but also appear not to work in NN 6.2.  These menus are
JavaScript driven.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to www.hotmetalpro.com
2. Move mouse to menubar on left side of the screen
3. As the mouse hovers over each menu item a submenu of choices should flyout.

Actual Results:  Submenu does not fly out : Thus the pages that the sub options
lead to are not accessible.

Expected Results:  Submenus should fly out.  Try it yourself with IE6.

Reassigning to Tech Evangelism. This site uses non-W3C-compliant HTML:

var NS4 = (document.layers) ? 1 : 0;
var IE4 = (document.all) ? 1 : 0;
var ver4 = (NS4 || IE4) ? 1 : 0;

if ((document.layers) || IE4)
{
          etc.


This code will only work in NS4 (which supported document.layers)
or in IE (which supports document.all). Neither is W3C-standard,
and neither is suppported in Mozilla.
