have a go with this.. the associated css will need a bit of work to match yours.. but should be a good starting point for you..

java for head tag:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.onload=show;
function show(id) {
var d = document.getElementById(id);
	for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
		if (document.getElementById('smenu'+i)) {document.getElementById('smenu'+i).style.display='none';}
	}
if (d) {d.style.display='block';}
}
//-->
</script>

menu code:

Code:

<div id="menu">
	<dl>
		<dt onmouseover="javascript:show();"><a href="" title="Return to home">Home</a></dt>
	</dl>
	
	<dl>			
		<dt onmouseover="javascript:show('smenu1');">Menu 1</dt>
			<dd id="smenu1">
				<ul>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 1.1</a></li>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 1.2</a></li>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 1.3</a></li>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 1.4</a></li>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 1.5</a></li>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 1.6</a></li>
				</ul>
			</dd>
	</dl>
	
	
	<dl>	
		<dt onmouseover="javascript:show();"><a href="">Menu 2</a></dt>
	</dl>
	
	<dl>	
		<dt onmouseover="javascript:show('smenu3');">Menu 3</dt>
			<dd id="smenu3">
				<ul>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 3.1</a></li>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 3.2</a></li>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 3.3</a></li>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 3.4</a></li>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 3.5</a></li>
				</ul>
			</dd>
	</dl>
	
	<dl>	
		<dt onmouseover="javascript:show('smenu4');">Menu 4</dt>
			<dd id="smenu4">
				<ul>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 4.1</a></li>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 4.2</a></li>
					<li><a href="#">sub-menu 4.3</a></li>
