Turns out the Eden ad isn't behaving. I've got a note out to Eden that the Flash will have to be written so it will allow me to set transparency, as I've done with all other flash banners. This way the menus drop on top of the graphic. I'm afraid that I have to continue running Eden's ad per our contract through at least Feb 20th. At that time (or before if they can send me an updated file sooner), I'll have the issue fixed. Until then I'm very sorry to say that you'll have to do a page refresh if you want to drop down the search menu and the eden ad is blocking it 
If any other ad is blocking the menus, make a note of the company and send me a note.
Thanks,
