Im using the hover element to get the mouse over effect.On the whole
the main menu is working properly i.e if I move my mouse over the menu
item areas like "About US" ,"Operations" then the pop-down menus open
up but the problem is even the submenus are also opening up i.e if I
select "Operations" from the main menu list then along with the
drop-down list of Operations even the sub-menu "Client Mgmt" drop-down
list is also opening up.

I want the sub-menus should open up only when the user moves his
mouse over that area.

You can have the look at the semi-finished menu for complete
understanding....plz click on the following link

http://www.strokefx.com/v-simplemenu3.html
Note:Open the file in "Firefox" or "Mozilla" or "Opera" browsers,
this particular menu does'nt work in IE browser(IE does not support
'hover' element of CSS)

Kindly help me out .....plz tell me wot all changes to the above code
have to be made to stop the sub-menus from opening up ...

Thanks in advance!
