iFrame/Frame issues in IE 6 (SP2)

I am having some issues and have a question. First off bugs.

BUGS
1. The iFrame example on the site SCROLLS when I move the mouse over any menu item containing a submenu. For example: I open the example file (http://www.dynarch.com/demos/hmenu-2.9/examples/iframe.html) and scroll to the bottom of the iFrame. When I move the mouse over "File" the iFrame flickers and scrolls upward. This occurs on "FILE" "FILE -- NEW" and "FILE -- SEND" among others. NOTE: this only happens on the first time I highlight a menu with a submenu. After I have highlighted every menu (w/submenu) it does not happen again until the page reloads. I am also having issues with the iFrame not rendering completely, the second line of text is invisible until I scroll the frame or highlight the text... bizarre.

2. The frame example give me a "Can't execute code from a freed script" error on any page but the index. When I click on Tech Specs for instance, the page loads, and throws a javascript error and the menu ceases to function.(http://www.dynarch.com/demos/hmenu/examples/frames.html)

Note, I am using IE 6 with the latest patches. Firefox works great, but thats not the point... :-)

Are these known/resolved issues that I'm having?

QUESTIONS
1. Is this possible to render the menu in XHTML 1.0 strict?

Sorry if any of these issues have already been resolved or are the result of id10t issues... :-)

Thanks!
Derek

Hmm, I am noticing this. It's definitely an IE bug but I have no idea how to work around it :-( sorry. Perhaps I will find a fix until the next version.

do you have any idea by which time will this be fixed? It is currently a show-stopper for us, and forcing us to choose another menu... we need it working in frames.

I seem to have isolated the iFrame jumping issue and interestingly enough, it is related to the question I asked.

It seems you MUST delare a XHTML doctype on the pages within the iFrame. You were using index.html which did not have a doctype declaration.

Use either of these on the index.html page, validate what is on the page, and voila!
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
-OR-
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

This resolves the iFrame jumpiness.

If you could get the menu to operate in the first, Strict mode, it would virtually guarantee it works across browsers...

I'm seeing the same "freed script" error but I am not using IFRAMES. It occurs in a two frame layout, and when I select a link in the menu generated, the first document that loads to the popup frame generates this error and the menus cease to function any more.

I have already checked all DOCTYPES and tag formatting in Dreamweaver 8 ... it's all perfect... and now I'm baffled.
