Flyout menus are "fluttering"

[Jeremy]

I have built vertical flyout menus, according to the recipes of B.Biddle,
and Jon Spivey. They work fine, but when the mouse pointer is resting over
the onmouseover link that activates the flyout, the flyout tends to
flutter - to quickly appear and disappear. This is worse if the pointer is
moved about over the activating link.

I have this problem whether I use a .gif for the link, or use CSS.

Anyone know how I can get the flyout to be more stable? Thanks!

Show me your code, please.

Usually such fluttering is caused by a rapid oscillation between a show and
a hide. If your most triggers the show, which masks the trigger, the
browser interprets it as a hide, and the masking element hides, which
triggers the show again, and on and on....
