G'day again

Thanks for replying so fast, it didn't work though.
I have assigned each element in my menu a class
either:

Sounds like overkill to me, but hard to be specific without seeing the page.

a.menu {background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #0066CC;
text-align: left; text-decoration: bold;
font-family: arial; padding-left: 3px; font-size:
0.85em; text-align: left}

1. Do you have a link with class="menu"?
2. text-decoration:bold is invalid css.
3. text-align:left twice?

Could be IE chokes on the css error at 2 above.

a.menu2 {font-family: arial; color: #0066CC;
font-size: 0.70em;text-align: left;
background-color: #FFFFFF; padding-left: 15px;
text-decoration: underline}

That looks better, and should be applied to any link with class="menu2" unless something else is overriding it.

(not as tedious as it sounds as I'm using PHP to
generate the menu).

Careful. May not be tedious to generate, but if there is a LOT, it could be tedious for dial-up users...

At the risk of sounding repetitive... Hard to tell from snippets. If you could put it online somewhere for us to look at, we may be able to spot the problem and steer you in the right direction.
