droplist cleanup - need help

I've got a DHTML droplist in place, but I'm having trouble getting the desired functionality.

My two problems I'm tackling at the moment are:

1.) How to make the list appear slightly to the right of the text that triggers the list.

2.) How to make the list go away when you move away from the selection. If I choose "onmouseout" in the code, then the list disappears as soon as you try to click on a list item, so it's impossible to use. If I don't use the "onmouseout" command, however, then the list jsut stays around, blocking other links on the page.

Fixing problem #1 above might take care of problem #2, because at least then the other cells will still be visible and accessible. But it still might be kind of a shoddy solution.

I have some JavaScript in my menu cells, which I don't want to get disrupted by the DHTML list.

To see a test page in action, and the code behind it, go to
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.craigsmithconst.com/leftTEST.html">http://www.craigsmithconst.com/leftTEST.html</a><!-- m -->

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

Lisa
