CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi Guys,

I am new to this SW and I have (with the help of some of this forum's experts) developed a left navigation that displays background images for a links status - default, active, hover etc. The code works perfectly in Firefox but I can't get it to work correctly in IE.

If you view my test site in Firefox & IE you will see the difference - http://www.naomhmearnog.ie/index.php

Basically IE is not picking up the main menu bkg images and instead displaying the sub menu bkg images. Similarly when you click on a sub menu link it doesn't display the default sub menu active bkg image.

I feel it is only something small I'm missing because it works fine in Firefox and the hover option works perfectly in both IE and Firefox. I have attached my code below.

Any help really appreciated as I have been trying to fix this issue for ages and it is driving me mad!!
