Nightmare in IE land - ul/li display

[graphicz]

Hello everyone. I apologise for posting this here but please can you help a desperate man? Take a look at http://www.graphicz.eu.com/ull/ in Firefox/Chrome, then in IE. The navigation ul/li does not display correctly in IE. This is not primarily an Actinic issue unless the Actinic css has interfered with navigation display in IE. I have tried everything I can think of to make the navigation display in IE and I am beaten.
Thank you all, please tell me off if you need to!

Jonathan,
Some more info required here I'm afraid before we can help.
- IE5,IE6,IE7,IE8 ?? Which browser is not working? It "seems" fine in IE8
- "does not display correctly" - what is the expected behaviour?

It will almost certainly be a CSS based issue, which a quick Google search through the interweb will yield a myriad or solutions.
e.g. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ul+li+IE6+issue

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Are you talking about the top nav being duplicated and squashed up? If so, you have clears, floats and overflows all in action, using all 3 of those has to be the problem here IMO. You use a lot of code and css to display a pretty simple 4 link menu, have a look at some tutorials on how to code and style a UL using modern day methods, you will end up with at least half the code and that in turn provides you with less things to go wrong.

Thank you all. I inherited the code, it was one of those where a client wanted an existing site made into an Actinic one. The navigation code is weird but as it works in FF/Chrome I wondered if there was an easy IE fix. None of the ones culled from extensive Google trawling have worked. I feel a rebuild of the navigation coming on!

Good Man, you know it makes sense

All is now well! I know there are lots of dropdowns out there, I tried udm4 but it messed up the layout. I then found this really simple css dropdown which has done the trick and not distorted the layout. Works cross browser.

In case it is useful to anyone else.
Cheers all!
