Hover Menu Problems With Internet Explorer.. Help!!

[rmaclennan]

Hey Guys,

I have made this menu using HTML and CSS to use in a WordPress theme header for a website I am making. It works fine with Firefox and Chrome but no matter what I do I can't seem to get the menu to stay shown when I scroll down to try to select an item from the sub-menu. When you hover over the item it will show the sub-menus fine, its only when you move your mouse down to select something it disappears again.

I am not very skilled with CSS so I am wondering if there is maybe some code I am missing to make this work in IE.. any help would be much appreciated.

The website is http://www.abettermortgage4u.com if you would like to take a look in IE to see what I'm talking about, and my menu code is below:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
ul.topmenu, ul.topmenu ul {
display: block;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #04214b;

ul.topmenu li {
display: inline;
list-style: none;
position: relative;
margin: 0px;
padding : 0px 15px 0px 0px;
}
-->
</style>

<style type="text/css">

</style>

<style type="text/css">
