Internet Explorer bad behavior help request

[citizenine]

Could anyone advise me on a popout menu functionality problem I'm having with Internet Explorer, please? 

The popout menu navigation on my site -- http://citizensforethicalelections.net -- is working perfectly in Firefox, but it doesn't work in IE. I had thought from the "Navigation: CSSMenu - Vertical" stylesheet that IE functionality strangeness was accounted for, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Users are writing to me and telling me they are getting the following:

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

A string literal was expected, but no opening quote character was found. Error processing resource 'http://citizensforethicalelections.net/ '. Line 4, Position 18



Any ideas for how can I go about correcting this? (Other than telling them I wish they'd just use Firefox, that is!

I think you might have missed this in your template...

Excellent. Nullig, that did it!

Thanks a million!

Nice looking...

Might want to add this....

#primary-nav li a:hover{color:#FFF}

Hey Mark --

Thanks. But what would "#primary-nav li a:hover{color:#FFF}" do? I was assuming it was going to change the color of the popout menu items to a different color to highlight them, but #FFF is white, so I'm confused.

Also, when I tried adding it to my template I got the following at the top of the page:

string(120) "Smarty error: [in template:24 line 14]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: color:#FFF (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 439)" string(111) "Smarty error: [in template:24 line 14]: syntax error: unrecognized tag '' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 583)" #primary-nav li a:hover

I'm a bit baffled. ? ? ?

Go to style sheet 'Navigation: CSSMenu - Vertical' and add it below where it says #primary-nav li a ...

[citizenine]

OK, I got it, Mark. Many thanks.  Nice effect.

Instead of #FFF, I used #745606.

Karma ho! 

[Dr.CSS]

I suggested #FFF because the text was getting lost in the background, I'm on a laptop, it still sort of blends in...

[citizenine]

OK, Mark. That's good information. Thanks.

How's this, then? -- http://citizensforethicalelections.net

Oh I meant that was imho  Looks fine...

Since the text is on the small side a contrast can help distinguish it more, like the original unhovered text, red on, flip, white on...
