pop up menus

I have made a page using php includes:
<?php
require("menu.php");
?>

In the menu page, I have set up pop up menus(using fireworks and also tried dreamwever). There are sub menus too. When you scroll over the sub menus, the entire menus jumps down to the bottom of the page--THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN mac os Internet explorer and not the other browsers.
Anyone have another type of code I could type in manually or info on how to fix this?

Thanks
MM

i don't think this has anything to do with php at all, but maybe the code that fireworks or what u used doesn't work with certain versions of certain browsers, is a compatibility issue :) and the only way is for you to try in that mac with another browser or a newer version, what browsers did you try your menu in?

I think it has a bit to do with the php a bit cause of it being in a cell of the page. If I open the menu on its own, it works. I was also hoping someone might know a place to get help with writing the code out without using dreamwever and fireworks to write it for me. I have done other menus (but different) with just code and there tends to be less browser compatability issues.

php is just including the page "menu.php" so it doesn't care at all about the contents of menu.php if it doesn't have any php code in it

also, you might want to look for other alternatives for your menus :D
i do not recommend at all that u use dreamweaver for coding with menus because it adds code into the page that is useless...
An alternative would be Sothink DHTMLMenu but(yes, there's always a but) there will be compatibility issues with users who have older browsers (don't let yourself down because of this, it's their problem, if they want to surf, then they should upgrade their pcs, otherwise...)
