I've been trying to build a dropdown menu for my site and all was going well until someone tried to view it in IE... and it wouldn't work. Now, i can either tell everyone to get a better browser and don't darken my doorstep until they do, or i can try to fix it. I tried, but now i'm a bit lost in it all. Can somebody help please? The menu i'm trying to fix is:
http://www.higg.co.uk/matt/index.html
and the css is at: http://www.higg.co.uk/matt/style3.css
the site istelf is a bit rubbish but I'm trying to get the workings correct first. I've tried running through the alist and sone of suckerfish pages but it just gets me more confused.

If you don't like IE then what's this nonsense about:

scrollbar-face-color:#E0E0E0;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#E0E0E0;
scrollbar-track-color:#FFFFFF;

The only thing you're accomplishing with that is holding the web back from completely moving on from the browser wars.

Anyway, http://www.alistapart.com/articles/hybrid/

Works for me.

lol yeah, sorry that's not supposed to be there.. that's what i mean getting a little lost... I'm not really a web designer and i couldn't see the wood for the trees... there's all sorts in there that i probably could have taken out or done better. sorry fella.
I'll sack it all off and I shall try starting from scratch and build it up again. Thanks for the link.

thanks emilpaun but i've scrapped the idea of the dropdowns... it was being awkward with some images and flash photo albums etc that i wanted to include so i've redon the page above but now for some reason its just not showing up at all in ie.
