/* Son of Suckerfish Dropdowns w/Mac support and IFRAME matting
 * This attaches an event to each LI element so when the mouseover event triggers,
 * the element's class is altered to include (and remove on mouseout) an extra class.
 * We can then use that class, in conjunction with stylesheets, to trigger drop-down
 * menus that are (mostly) CSS-based.
 *
 * The second variable passed to sfHover (noMat), if set to true, will disable
 * the IFRAME matting used to hide form elements that peek through if the menu
 * appears over one. Use this option when there's no chance the menu will pop over
 * a form field as this will remove the lag/performance issues related to using
 * the IFRAME matting.
 *
 * Original:
 *	http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/
 * Fixes to work with IE/Mac:
