  margin: 0;
  list-style: none;
  z-index:1;
  }
  
  li {
  float: left;
  position: relative;
  width: 10em;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
color:#FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
  }
  
  li ul {
  display: none;
  position: absolute; 
  top: 1em;
  left: 0;
  border-top: 1px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
background-image:url(Images/menu.jpg);
  
  }
  
  li > ul {
	top: auto;
	left: auto;
	}
	
	li:hover ul, li.over ul{ display: block; }
	
	
a {text-decoration:none;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
a:hover {
color:#FF0000;
}

i want the content div to be scrollable if i have too much info on there, but when i do set the overflow: auto on the content div this happens to the menu

try and select one of the submenu items tho, it wont let me??

if i take overflow: auto; off it will work fine again and i can click the submenu items..why is this happening?

even in IE on my comp i cant see the expansion and it messes up, iv tried a number of people, some people say it works, some people say it dissapears when they try and rollover a link.. :S
