Hey Mike,

I actually have not worked with your top menu.  I receive an
html/graphic template from our designer then wrap the IC code around it.
So our designer is not aware of the tools that already exist in IC.  We
however are going to be working on a new project in the next 6 months
and I will take a look at your menu then and let you know of any
differences I see.  If you'd like to see any of our code for our menus
let me know and I can send it over.

Thanks!
-Ron
