Can you tell me how to stop this from happening?

Q: I was trying to work out how to set the target for a link in html tab menu
A: No,unfortunately it is not possible in Deluxe Tabs now.
But you can write your links in the following way:

menubar=no,location=no');", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Q: We have several problems with your menu.
Notice when trying to select a drop down item…the item disappears, rather than holding in place as the mouse is over the menu item.
Second, we’d like to know how to expand the width of the main headers and sub headers. Currently, they are not of the same width.
Lastly, we’d like to change the font and load new fonts to match the branding of the menu items.
Please let us know where we can find instructions to make these modifications/customizations.
A: Please, try to write your menuItems parameter correctly.
You should set "iconOver" parameter for each item (you can set "").
Please, see how you should write your menuItems:
["","index.php","nav_home_out.gif","nav_home_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["","","nav_experience_out.gif","nav_experience_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["|Contestants","experience_contestants.php","","","_self","2",,,],
...

You should use Individual styles, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px","arrowImageMain=image1,image2=home_out.gif,home_over.gif"], // style 0
["itemBorderWidth=2","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#AA0000,#0000FF"], // style 1
["fontStyle=bold 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,underline"], // style 2
];
var menuItems = [
["","index.php","nav_home_out.gif","nav_home_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["","","nav_experience_out.gif","nav_experience_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
...
For submenus you should set the following parameter:
var smWidth="150px";

You should also use Individual styles.
But you should set this parameter:
var fontStyle="";
And then use different fonts for your items.
Q: Under Opera everything works fine but under IE the submenu’s are way down the page and go off the bottom of the screen.
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;"
to the
<DIV class=department-menu>
So, you'll have:
<DIV class=department-menu style="POSITION: absolute;PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;">
