this is the link Click Here
try to go Sekolah > Iklim > Piagam
the submenu will disappear because the mouse hover on the background wording which is the 'Recent Articles'.
Please help to make the submenu stay even hover on background wording.

When I access the site I see the words "Professional Online.." over the menu and Recent Articles behind it. Not sure what you mean by the mouse hover.

[drjohn]

Give the sub menu a high z-index - the Professional Education bit is sitting over the flyout menu.

I set for cat ul z-index:50 and it worked, you probably don't need as high a value as that, but I didn't bother looking for a smaller answer.

thank u drjohn. it works..
