Yes, I know this is an IE bug and not the DTHML menu bug, but I believe I have a workaround for it (it annoyed me so much I had to do something :) and I thought I'd share it in case you would want to include it in distribution.
IE (and I only tested this with 6.0 on windows) seems to stop event propagation if the key in question is assigned as accesskey to a link (or a label). So the solution I found is to create empty <a href> element for each top-level menu item and assign menu item's shortcut key as accesskey for it.

The following code when added to createMenuItem() in hmenu.js (line 305 in library version) seems to do the trick:
if (is_ie && key) {
var blockingLink = document.createElement("A");
blockingLink.href = "#";
blockingLink.accessKey = key;
item.appendChild(blockingLink);
}

Thanks again for the excellent menu component.

When you use relative urls in IE when the menu is in lazy mode you get redirected to a wrong page.
eg: .... <li><a href="/page/en">page</a></li> ...
When you click on it, then you will get redirected to "about:blank/page/en" and not "http://www.mysite.com/page/en" like it should be.
When turning the lazy mode off, it works fine.

I need to place the links relative because when the user doesn't accept session_cookies, PHP only will add the SID to the relative urls.

Had a user call just now. He is blind and works for the US Dept of Homeland Security. He does Section 508 usability testing on web sites. He uses a tool called JAWS from www.FreedomScientific.com that reads the DOM from IE to the user. The page he is having problems with was working fine for him until I added a new DynarchMenu that is dynamically built from a database. When he views the page, it dumps out and crashes the browser. He verified by having his wife view the page with the reader turned off and the page came up fine. So there is some issue with the DynarchMenu and his JAWS software...whether in the DOM or the Javascript or some combination.
Just wanted to mention this. Not sure what to do or even how to test it.

I'm getting a strange error when I put an hmenu on an input field. This error does not occur when I place it anywhere else or when I use IE. Do you have any ideas what could be causing this.. Error Details: I get the following error when I move my mouse into the menu that has popped up and then out of the menu.... but only when I move out of the top of the menu. Uncaught exception: Permission denied to getProperty HTMLDivElement.parentNode. Input Details: Context Menu Details:

We are using the iframe trick in order to get a fixed position, persistent menu at the top of our page. That is, we have a single HTML page that uses the hmenu at the top, and below that is an iframe for the main page content. The menu dropdown displays correctly, but if one first clicks the menu, and then clicks somewhere in the iframe, the dropdown menu continues to display. You have to click somewhere at the top, on the outer page in order for the hmenu to detect the click and cause the dropdown menu to disappear.

I assume that somewhere in your javascript, whenever you add an hmenu to a page, you must set yourself up as a mouseClick listener of some sort on the page so that you know whenever the user has clicked off of your menu... but obviously you're not set up to listen for the same events on an iframe embedded on that same page. But I'm just guessing.

Can you please affirm that this is an issue and advise any workarounds. This has become a major issue for us (and yes, we are a paying customer). Thanks in advance,
