Hi Scott I don't have an immediate answer for your problem, but I would like to suggest some more vertical padding on your lists. I found it difficult to keep focus on the links as I tried to go from second to third level. Perhaps if the link was taller it would be easier for the mouse. Ted

Rather than have the menus cascade down and to the right (relatively positioned), I want the sub-menus to position in equally-sized blocks to the right (absolutely positioned). HTML: http://capstrat.com/development/example/ CSS: http://capstrat.com/development/example/elements/site.css If you mouse over the 1st item in the blue box, then the 1st item in the gold box while using IE, you'll see the issue. The absolutely positioned gold box contains the grey-background sub-menus. I've nudged the grey boxes to the left a bit so that you can see where IE renders them. The gold box 'breaks out' of the blue box just fine because the blue box is relatively positioned. If you search for "=:NAVIGATION" in the CSS, you'll find the relevant code describing the menus. The blue box (parent UL) is ul.navigation-primary. HTML validates and works fine in Firefox and friends. CSS wont validate because of the opacity filter to appease IE, but removing the offending code doesn't repair the problem. Can someone suggest a fix or give some advice that might help me free the little grey boxes from IE opression? Thanks!
