Comment (by hnla):

 Further to skype conversation earlier there is an issue regards losing
 focus after the second link in the first level dropdown in other words the
 hover is lost and dropdown closes. This is a bug in IE reminiscent of the
 guillotine bug but not, at the moment the simplest fix for this is to move
 the:

 ~line 217: background: url( ../images/60pc_black.png );

 to the #nav li ruleset

 However a further issue arises from the use of that png graphic which I
 discussed in another ticket, Not tested but I'm assuming that an extreme
 flicker is being caused by this graphic (rather than IE caching settings,
 it's not a hover swap after all) in a nutshell a 1px x 1px graphic causes
 many issues not the least resource draining for the end users system, 1px
 graphics should never be used there is no saving in file size to be gained
 (smallest graphic size will be approx the same for a 1px graphic as a 20px
 one) it would be much better to drop to a solid background hex colour or
 use the graphic I re factored and attached to the ticket that I haven't
 the link to :)
