Setting the menu to position="fixed"; works perfectly in all my browsers except Internet Explorer (both Mac and PC). In IE the menu just sticks to the top of the screen and none of the submenus work. Any thoughts on why this is and anyone know of a workaround? Thanks for your time!

Position=fixed should really be followscroll="1";

Yes IE is buggy leaving footprints, it works best out of a table, you can position it on top of everything without a problem using top, left and screenposition="left;top"; center;bottom etc.

It sounds like either its in a div or table with the submenu problems.

Followscroll=1 works fine, but I'm trying to get it so the menu stays at one position at all times without it scrolling up or down, that's why I was trying position=fixed. The way I have it setup, it's not in a table or a div, it's being called from the head of the document and the main menu and all the submenus are set to position=fixed. I know that IE 5+ can be buggy with position=fixed but I was hoping someone had a workaround.
