Menu via laiers.The menus are flickering!

[Guest]

I've made menus using laiers wirh FP2003(auto drop down like those you see in the top of microsoft.com websites). The menus work great, accept that the menus are flickering very much when moving mouse over them. Somethimes when moving mouse up and down the menus, the menus sometimes dissapear, like they are very "sensible" for the "mouseout" action

I'll be greatful for help!

This is either a browser issue or you're handling way too
many events. Please post a URL to this thread or consult

If you are using a transparent gif closer for your cascading menu's make
sure the top of the secondary menu is right up against the main menu. Just
a 1 pixel area will cause you problems.

I've been doing quite a few different variations and have found the best
thing to do to make sure you don't have this problem is to put the cascading
or drop down menu a layer below the main menu and position it 1 pixel higher
than the bottom of the main menu. This insures I have none of the closer
layer visable to the cursor when moving from the main menu to the drop down
menu.

Have Fun Bill

I've fixed that "sensitive for mouseout" issue. But the flickering thing is still a problem. Ive been trying to figure it out with no luck. You can take a look at the menu ive made and see yourself, maybe it would be easyer to help me
