Well, I couldn't get around the popup code overriding the table mouseover condition. I had to redo the menu with a css based rollover solution using a horizontal list and setting the list item tag <li id="navbar_search">.

In case anyone else runs into the same problem, here's the css I ended up with:

PHP Code:

    .navbar_list {
      font: bold 11px tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
      padding: .2em 0 .2em 0;
      background-color: #738FBF;
    }
    .navbar_list ul {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    text-align: center;
    list-style-type: none;
    white-space: nowrap;
    display: inline;
    }
    .navbar_list li {
      color: #FFFFFF;
      background-color: #738FBF;
      font: bold 11px tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
      display: inline;
      
    }
    .navbar_list a {
    padding: .2em 1.6em .2em 1.6em;
     text-decoration: none;
     color: #FFFFFF;
       background-color: #738FBF;
    }
    .navbar_list a:link, .navbar_list a:visited {
    color: #FFFFFF;
      background-color: #738FBF;
    }
    
    .navbar_list a:hover, .navbar_list a:active {
      color: #FFFFFF;
      background: #3E5C92;
    } 


The default <td></td> cells of the navbar are replaced with a <ul><li><li><li></ul> list within a div of the class defined above.

And the list entry for the search button:

PHP Code:

<li id="navbar_search"><a  href="$vboptions[bburl]/search.php?$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="4">$vbphrase[search]</a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search",1);</script>
