The problem is, when we mouse over the drop down menu , list box appears in front of the drop down area.. how can i tackle this . The Error occurs only in IE not in Firefox.

The problem is, when we mouse over the drop down menu , list box appears in front of the drop down area.
This occurs in IE6 and below and is fixed in IE7. For IE6-, either hide the list box when you mouse over the menu (a bit of a fix), or use iframe shimming (place an iframe underneath the menu).

It's not that simple. Search for "iframe shim" and you should find some useful links.
