Interesting Behavior

I noticed a behavior that is interesting - don't know if it's intended this way, or ...

The application is this: I have a set of "pretty" buttons atop the page. These buttons incorporate the button function, in text. I wanted to use Andy's menu system to handle the sub-menus available when the user mouse-overs (hovers on) the "pretty buttons".

I got everything positioned and links inserted, and tested. Then, to get the orginal design idea in place, I deleted the Description Text from the main menu. Then I did this, the submenus stopped being shown when the mouse was over them, but do flash up briefly when the mouse moves onto and when it moves off the top/main menu.

I can think of a couple of workarounds, so this is not a show-stopper. But it does have the feel of an inintended behavior.

Just wanted you to know. I still think this menu system is "best of breed".
