I have a div inside an li as part of a top navigation for a website.

I'm having trouble with IE 7 having "holes" in the box such that the drop down disappears when the user is still on the drop down.

I started with a pure CSS solution (li:hover) and that works awesome in all browsers except IE 7. So I've now added a jQuery/javascript solution to detect when the mouse enters and exits the nav li and then add a class to show the drop down. It works better, but if the mouse is not over an image, p, h3, or a tag then it doesn't think I'm over the div that is the drop down. Very frustrating.

I can post some test code, but the issue can be viewed here: http://davincidays.org/

Anyone have any ideas? I've been working on this for waaaay too long already and need some fresh things to try.
