Drop down menu problem in IE6

Asked by ktsixit in JavaScript, JavaScript Frameworks

Tags: javascript, drop down menu, problem

Hi all,
I have created a javascript drop down menu for a website. I have used some piece of code I found on web and it's working ok in all browsers except IE6. You can take a look of the page here:

You'll notice that there's a weird flash effect when mouseovering from one submenu item to another.
Can you please help me fix this? Here is the javascript code I am using.
