The following code has very wide submenus in NS 7.1 with the current release candidate. It does not have these problems with RC 15.

Code:

<html>
<head>
   <title>Untitled</title>
</head>

<body>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

A couple problems right off the bat...

1. Your JS calls are wrong for the menu code. See install.txt in the download.

2. You have 2 doctype, <html>, <head>, etc. in you document. No good.

3. Why is the code in a <div>, as opposed to letting it center itself?

4. Why is the code split up?

Are you using RC18.

Fix these, then let us know.

Since I know that our users have to be NS 6.x+ I have no need for the browser checking code

2. You have 2 doctype, <html>, <head>, etc. in you document. No good.
Cut and past error putting the final example together. Not in actual code

3. Why is the code in a <div>, as opposed to letting it center itself?
Artifact of it being in a larger piece of code. This turned out to be the culprit though so now I need to figure out how to rearrange things.

4. Why is the code split up?
Not sure what you mean here

Are you using RC18.
When I created the sample it hadn't been released. I am now and the problem persists but at least I have a work around. Again this was not a problem in RC15
