I have a web application and on the screens if the a dropdown list is selected and if you hover over a menu item the dropdown list is displayed through the menu item.

Try hiding all the dropdowns whenever onmouseover event occurs on the menu item. Similarly, unhide the dropdowns whenever onmouseout event occurs.

code would be something like below -

JavaScript

function toggleDropdown(action) { 
// action is boolean variable
// true : hide dropdown (call on mouseover)
// false: show dropdown (call on mouseout)

var dropdowns = document.getElementsByTagName('select');
var cssText = action ? 'none' : '';
for(i = 0; i < dropdowns.length; i++) {
  dropdowns[i].style.display = cssText;
}

Hope this may help you out...
