        </ul>

The Javascript

sfHover = function() {
	var sfEls = document.getElementById("menu").getElementsByTagName("li");
	for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {
		sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() {
			this.className+="catalogNav";
		}
		sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {
			this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" catalogNav\\b"), "");
		}
	}
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover);

The CSS that i have created

#wrapper div#header ul li ul.catalogNav{
	width:214px;
	padding:6px 0 0;
	position:absolute;
	left:0px;
	top:20px;
	float:none;
	}
#wrapper div#header ul li ul.catalogNav li {

}


#wrapper div#header ul li ul.catalogNav li a{
    background: url(../images/black_arrow.gif) no-repeat 2px 8px #fff;;
    color:#3B3B3B;
    font:11px/21px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    display:block;
    padding:0 0 0 13px;
    height:21px;
    width: 214px;
}


#wrapper div#header ul li ul.catalogNav li a:hover{
    background-color:#FFFCE5;
    color:#990000;
}

Sorry to keep you waiting! Here's your code and ive fixed some of the lines in your script.

<html>
<head>
<title><!--Sample--></title>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
/* Part of the testing that's why i have to simplify things.
Just dont forget to replace this one with ur default attribution */

li.blue a { color: blue; }
li.yellow { background-color: yellow; }

-->
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function sfHover() 
{ 
for ( var x = 0; x <= document.getElementsByTagName('ul').length; x++ ) { 

var sfEls = document.getElementsByTagName('ul')[x].getElementsByTagName('li'); 
 
for ( var i = 0; i <= sfEls.length; i++ ) { 
sfEls[i].onmouseover = function() { this.className += " yellow"; };



sfEls[i].onmouseout = function() { this.className = this.className.replace(/yellow/g, ''); 
   } 
  } 
 } 
}

if ( window.addEventListener ) 
window.addEventListener("load", sfHover, false ); 


else if ( window.attachEvent ) 
window.attachEvent ("onload", sfHover); 

else if ( document.getElementById ) 
window.onload = sfHover; 

//-->
