    copied!<p>I have been struggling with this code for quite a few hours now and I have been unable to fix it. This is my CSS for my horizontal navigation:</p> <pre><code>#topmenu { position: relative; width: 690px; left: 270px; top: 11px; } #nav { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; float: left; } #nav li { float: left; position: relative; list-style: none; margin: 0px; margin-right: 6px; } #nav li ul { display: none; margin: -1em 0 0 -3em; padding: 1em; padding-top: 1.2em; position: absolute; top: 24px; z-index: 500; opacity: 0.96; ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=96)"; filter: alpha(opacity=96); } #nav li:hover ul { display: block; } #nav li ul li { display: block; clear: both; } #nav li ul li a { border-radius: 0px; width: 125px; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 25px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; } #nav li ul li span { float: left; color: #FFF; font-size: 14px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; display: block; background: #6AC1F3; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 0px; width: 145px; } #nav a { float: left; color: #FFF; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; display: block; background: #6AC1F3; padding: 5px 25px 5px 25px; border-top-left-radius: 10px; border-top-right-radius: 10px; -moz-border-top-left-radius: 10px; -moz-border-top-right-radius: 10px; -webkit-top-left-radius: 10px; -webkit-top-right-radius: 10px; } #nav a:hover, #nav a.selected { background-color: #FEA14F; } </code></pre> <p>And this is my HTML code:</p> <pre><code> &lt;div id="topmenu"&gt; &lt;ul id="nav"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="rounded" href="index.html"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="rounded" href="about-us.htm"&gt;About Us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="rounded" href="contact.htm"&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="rounded" href="#"&gt;Services&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Manage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="manage-it-management.htm"&gt;IT Management&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="manage-helpdesk-support.htm"&gt;Helpdesk Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="manage-planning-and-consulting.htm"&gt;Planning and Consulting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Instruct&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="instruct-software-training.htm"&gt;Software Training&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="instruct-custom-curriculum.htm"&gt;Custom Curriculum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="instruct-social-networking.htm"&gt;Social Networking&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Grow&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="grow-website-design.htm"&gt;Website Design&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="grow-website-optimization.htm"&gt;Website Optimization&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="grow-internet-marketing.htm"&gt;Internet Marketing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Secure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="secure-remote-back-up.htm"&gt;Remote Back Up&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="secure-scanning-and-storage.htm"&gt;Scanning and Storage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="secure-spam-and-virus-protection.htm" class="roundbtm"&gt;Spam and Virus Protection&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="rounded" href="products.htm"&gt;Products&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="rounded" href="real-estate-solutions.htm"&gt;Real Estate Solutions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>The code works in Firefox, Chrome, but I am unable to make it work for IE. I have created additional rules for IE:</p> <pre><code>body { behavior: url(csshover.htc); } #topmenu { font-size: 100%; } #menu ul li {float: left; width: 100%;} #menu ul li a {height: 1%;} </code></pre> <p>But all the menu does is display the drop-down, but when I try to select an item in the drop-down menu, the menu disappears.</p> <p>What's the issue? </p>
