Hi guys, I'm having some CSS issues. I have a menu built with nested lists and styled with css, which worked fine. Now when I try to use that menu within my css-based layout page, the menus popouts seem to be stuck against the next div (not letting the mouse move across to them without disappearing).
I'm in a bit of a pickle because I'm supposed to have something to show my client by Friday, can anyone help?
see the menu not working  here . If you fumble around with it long enough you can make it sort of work, but too iffy.
 
 
I know there is a lot of code here, but I think it may be something in the CSS/page layout part, not the actual menu, but I could be wrong.
Here is my HTML:
  /*page layout*/
  body {
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    background-color: #8B8B8B;
    }
    #header {
    position: absolute;
    height: 125px;
    width: 100%;
    left: 0px;
    top: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background-color: #8B8B8B;
    }
    #headnav {
    background-color:  #3E497E;
    height: 70px;
    width: 773px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-top: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    }
    #content {
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    top: 125px;
    left: 0px;
    }
    #contentcell {
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    height: auto;
    width: 773px;
    background-image: url(../images/css_images_r3_c1.jpg);
    }
    #contentleft {
    text-align: left;
    width: 190px;
    float: left;
    position: relative;
    margin: 0px;
    padding-top: 0px;

    }

    text-align: left;
    float: left;
    position: relative;
