Problems with IE displaying dropdown menu

Hi,

I’m trying to build a template and style sheet that will display two nav bars
(vertical and horizontal) with the vertical being a CSS dropdown style.

Whilst it seems to work in firefox, opera, I’m (so, so surprisingly) having trouble with IE.

Please excuse the crappy design as I haven’t styled the template yet;  I wanted to get the nav working prior to making it look decent.

Draft page is http://www.webtactics.com.au/index.php/extensions/tags
CSS (in system) but also at http://www.webtactics.com.au/uploads/te ... actics.css

This is the first CMS system of any type that I have tried to use, so any help would be appreciated. I have built quite a few static css sites.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reply - I tried adding in





Unfortunately all that happened was the page doesn't display in any browsers now.

Any ideas? Thanks again.

Try putting it above the title just below

and your menu is missing a   closing tag.

Thanks for your help Mark - and now for the dumbest question - as the menu is dynamically generated - how do i fix the missing tag?

Dear Mark

You are truly a master, I have been so stressed over this dropdown menu issue with IE, and you solved it for me.

Thank you, I can now sleep,
