Same result in Safari and Chrome - works in IE. Changing to Tech Evangelism as this is a website issue.

David, please let the site owner(s) know they're broken in all browsers except IE, and please keep us posted with their response here.

I've no idea how IE Windows actually hides those submenus. It 'works' on IE7, but it is a bit of a hit and miss. Partly I think it is a case of bug 102695. The onmousout is supposed to be fired from a box that wraps around those submenus (I think), but that box is transparent.

Anyway, it appears the site uses very old scripts. I would suggest upgrading to something a little bit more modern. There are tons of Jquery based menu scripts that would work well, including being more accessible to keyboard users.

(I've used this one recently: http://css-tricks.com/simple-jquery-dropdowns/)

"The page you are trying to access has moved." 
but menus are working anyway.
