jQuery Drop down script not working in IE7

I have a script to create a drop down menu that can house anything in its drop, meaning, it drops a div and you can put anything in that div. I am using jQuery and a working plugin another guy developed. It also works off the hoverIntent jquery plugin.

In my drop down div I have another menu within it to help sort the many links and options.

The structure it as follows:

<ul>
  <li> // this is the menu list item
   <div></div> //each one has a div that drops down when you hover the <li>
  </li>
</ul>
It works perfectly in FF3 but it doesn't do anything in IE7. I have exhausted myself trying to figure it out.

I set up an example on another site since our site has a member's area. Please go check  the example below in FF3 and IE7 to see what I mean. Again, FF3 works but IE7 doesn't.

Here is my code:

Thank you for your help. If I just remove the commas it still doesn't work and that would mess it up for FF3. I also tried a few other things but still no. How would I rewrite mega2Config to work with both.
Nevermind, sorry, I figured it out. I removed the comma on the last entry and it worked. THANKS!!! You are always a great help!
You're welcome. Sorry about the confusion. I can see now how what I said could be interpreted both ways.
