Menu works with Mozilla, but not IE 6

I finally have my menu working almost exactly the way I want it (for now). I uploaded it to the server only to find out that it does not work with IE 6 (I have not tried any older version).

I have closed and restarted Moz to ensure it was not in the cache (my browser settings get every piece of data from the server every time) and it still works. I did the same for IE, where possible.

The site is http://www.mishre.com and the menu should show up at the top of the screen above the company name in the left corner.

Does anyone have a suggestion on where to look next? I have tested various configurations and setups to see if it was a typo in my config files, but nothing has been found.

Thanks for any help,

odd behavior

I just figured out that the menu will show up and work properly when I set the orientation to vertical rather then horizontal. The menu shows up properly in Mozilla with both.

Any thoughts?

You have the menu embeded in a Table which is in turn embeded in a Paragraph.

This will cause all sorts of problems as you can see.

It's best to put the menu as the first object just after the <BODY> tag. If you need to bind the menu to a table cell you can use the PlaceMenu() function found at http://www.milonic.co.uk/menu/menusample.php?sampleid=21

Figured it out

To get the menu working on IE I needed to put the two lines that import the .js files outside the table just below the <body> tag. Then I used the PlaceMenu <script> tag inside the table where I wanted the menu to appear.

Thanks for your help!
