Having trouble viewing the CSS menu on Internet Explorer 8? Could it be a potential JavaScript issue causing the problem?

Receiving complaints about the menu bar dysfunction in Internet Explorer 8 has left me bewildered. Despite working perfectly on all other browsers and earlier versions of IE, I cannot figure out what's wrong with the code.

You can view the website at:

The CSS for the site can be accessed here:

Here is the code for the menu:

    <script src="/upload/wysiwyg/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript>
    </script>
    <DIV id="header"><a href="/centrallab/home-page.xml"><img src="http://www.iirusa.com/upload/wysiwyg/2011-P-Div/P1625/P1625_Central_Labs_East.jpg" alt="Central Labs East" width="930" height="206" border="0" /></a></DIV>

If you can provide assistance, it would be greatly appreciated and relieve hours of frustration!

Answer №1

The issue lies in IE6 and not IE8. The main problem is that IE6 does not recognize the :hover selector for elements other than an a tag.

Answer №2

My experience with your website on IE8 is that it malfunctions when Compatibility View is enabled.

To prevent this issue, you can ensure the browser does not enter Compatibility View by inserting the following code in your head:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

The menus function flawlessly on IE8 outside of Compatibility View mode.
