Okay, this is a little bizarre, so bear with me.
I've implemented YUI menu on a site, and it's almost working right, other than a couple of theming issues. It seems to work as I expect in everything but IE 7 on Vista - it works on IE 7 on my XP system. If I try to use the menu in IE on Vista, I cannot click on any of the menu items and have them work - If I right click, and then tell it to open, then it works, but just clicking on the menu item does not:
This is the main 3-level menu at the top of the site.
The theme is a derivation of Zen. I'm using YUI 2.3.0 because whenever I try to use a newer version of the library, the menus format badly. Is YUI Menu on Drupal 5 supposed to require YUI library 2.3.0 ?
Any help you can give me that might shed some light on this would be helpful - I'm not much of a Javascript guy.
Also - on Firefox the menus are all appearing to be transparent - on IE 7 they appear to have white backgrounds - but as I said, on Vista you can't click on the menu items.

Don't know if this is still an issue, but just in case if not:
1) Vista shouldn't affect how webpages are displayed. That's the browser's job, so it sounds like your problem was with IE. Not sure what version of IE you're using, but I looked at your site in Firefox and IE7 and didn't have any problems at all. I could click on them w/o any issues, tho not sure if you've made changes since that have fixed the problem.
2) Regarding the transparent menus - I prefer to turn transparency off. The easiest way to do this is by going into the YUI menu settings under Site Configuration and turning animations off. Otherwise if you'd like to keep the animation, I'm sure you could tweak the CSS to make the submenu backgrounds something other than transparent.
HTH.
