I have created a cascading menu in dhtml (looks like file menu). It consists of
absolutely positioned tables, and their onmouseover causes their child elements
to be visible or hidden.
The problem is that if a child element covers a scrollable box (div [width css
overflow:scroll], or a scrollable iframe), when the mouse moves to the position
of the menu item which is over the scrollable box, the menu item's onmouseout
event gets triggered, and so, the menu gets hidden, meanwhile it should stay
visible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
follow the details, and check the given URL
Actual Results:  
the above table hides

Expected Results:  
the table shouldn't hide
