The problem is the "'s around the img src.....it's throwing off your animated drop down menu.
How do I fix that?
A: It is not correct to write menuItems in such way.
You should write:

Q: Do you have a menu that allows the sub-items to 'slide' out from the menu?

A: You should to use transitional effects.
Try to set
var transition=6;
var transOptions="";
var transDuration=350;
var transDuration2=200;
But notice that transitional effects are features of Internet Explorer5.5+ only.
