I haven't seen this, but I can be reasonably sure that it's pretty much
a separate problem from Typo3 - after all, the menus are just html, the
.htc is just javascript and the css is just css.

What I would check (in this order):


1. Make sure that the path to the .htc file is correct; it's easy to
get it wrong (you can test it, for example, by setting up the exact
whatever:hover sample page on your site in the same location as your
non-working-menu pages using the same path to the file)

2. Validate html - these css-dropdowns *depend* to a large degree on
properly nested lists

3. Validate css


Other than that, I don't have any immediately interesting ideas for
solutions, but if you just *can't* find anything wrong, I could try to
take a look sometime.
