I first came across this issue in my custom themes but I've reverted to Garland and the issue still occurs: When I use Nice Menus on any page that has forms on it (my site contact form, for example), I get a crash.

This is using IE7.0.6000.16575.

I go to a page with forms, at at first it appears to load correctly. If I go over any menu item, the dropdown menu appears correctly, then disappears when I mouse off, correctly. When I start at the right-most menu item and move my mouse back to the left, they display correctly. However, as soon as I move my mouse from any menu item to the one on its right, I get a crash.

This happens only on the page that contains my contact form, and a product purchasing page that includes a form built with the Forms API. Suggestions on what's going on or what I can do to fix it?

Hmmm, seems that I can fix it by fiddling with the z-index, at least somewhat. Seems to be an issue where the mouse is simultaneously moving overtop of the next item in the first-level menu, and an invisible portion of the third-level menu. But I'm still at a complete loss to explain why this is happening just on pages with the forms.

I was able to get around the crash by disabling the IEHoverPseudo function. We're using a fairly heavily customized version of a down type nice menu...disabling that function doesn't seem to cause any problems at least with ie7...not sure about any earlier versions.

I've never seen this associated only on pages with forms. Is there any other JS behavior on the site associated with forms?

@rflynt3, the IEHoverPsuedo JS is needed for IE6 to work at all. In IE 7 the only thing that goes weird without it is that if you go more than 2 levels in your menus you will get the "ghost" efffect of losing text.
