Ohh, that is kinda squicky in NN4.75 (Mac o/s 9.2). I haven't got the time to
check the source code, but here's what I'm seeing on the page: 

When first loaded, first pass over the links with the mouse, each one of the
rollovers works fine. But when I run the mouse over them a second time, not all
of them will "change" any longer. Specifically, the first one (Dining Rooms)
only works the first pass over, each time I reload the page. I reloaded about 5
or 6 times to reset the menu. The first time I loaded the page, none of the
links worked. The second time I loaded, some of the links worked, at first, but
then some of them stopped working. Each page reload will reset the menu, but
that top rollover never works more than once for me, and the others, well, some
continue to work fine, others do not, and there doesn't seem to be a pattern
that I can tell. Ditto with the links...might work, might not, might work then
stop working. 

On NN6, the links all seem to work consistantly, and once I've clicked on one
and returned to the page the rollovers are also working seamlessly. Upon first
loading, however, until I've clicked on one of the links, the rollovers are not
smooth. I'm getting no image at all when I first run the mouse over a link. In
fact, as I run up the menu, from one link to another, there's about a second
where both images are missing, and I'm seeing two solid (background-colored)
rectangles until the new images swap out. Again, once I've clicked on any of the
links, then hit "back" to return to the page, they work just fine.
