For some reason, I am getting a weird overlapping dropdown menu glitch. It works fine when I open it with Firefox, but when I publish the HTML onto Blogger.com website, it overlaps.
My website I am updating it to is http://clubpenguinspin.com/, as you can see, when you mouseover “Chat”, it has so many choices and weird overlapping menus. Heres a picture of it:
Take a look at my HTML:
<center>
<!-- Link to styles used for our Navigation Bar -->
<link href="http://cpspintest123.x10.mx/nav-id-19fnroex/tea.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<!-- Link to a file with couple simple JavaScript functions used for our Navigation Bar -->
<script src="http://cpspintest123.x10.mx/nav-id-19fnroex/SimpleNavBarScripts.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!-- main nav bar titles -->
<!-- Note how the the closing angle bracket of each </a> tag runs up against the next <a> tag,
to avoid leaving a gap between each menu title and the next one. -->
<!-- REPLACE each "placeholder.html" URL below with the specific page you want the user
to go to when the given menu title is clicked. For example, the first link below
is for the "Home" menu title, so you'd probably replace the first URL with index.html. -->

/* We just specify a fixed width for each menu title. Then, down below we specify
a fixed left position for the corresponding submenus (e.g. #products_submenu, etc.)
Using these fixed values isn't as elegant as just letting the text of each
menu title determine the width of the menu titles and position of the submenus,
but we found this hardwired approach resulted in fewer cross-browser/cross-OS
formatting glitches -- and it's pretty easy to adjust these title widths and the
corresponding submenu 'left' positions below, just by eyeballing them whenever
we need to change the navbar menu titles (which isn't often). */

/* Note, each submenu is hidden when the page loads - then made visible when
the mouse goes over the menu title. Using the 'visibility' property instead
of using the 'display' property avoided a bug in some versions of Safari.
(The bug is pretty where esoteric: The browser ignored the 'hover' property
on 'li' objects inside an object whose display property was set to 'none'
when the page loaded...) Using the 'visibility' property instead of 'display'
would normaly take up extra room on the page, but that's avoided here by putting
the submenu on a second layer: see 'position: absolute' and 'z-index: 2'
in .submenu definition, higher up this page. */

Please help me! This is very annoying to my website viewers, and others.

You have to add a closing
