Help needed IE FF conflict

Okay, I need help.

What happens is that when you hover over Archives in FF it expands nicely
and shows the different links, but when I hover over it in IE nothing
happens.

How do I fix it?

Yes, you do need help, but maybe not in the way you think.

The fixed 900px width looks a mess in smaller windows, and with no
margins on the side text butts right up against the edge of the
viewport. I hate that. Or it could just look a mess with my large
default text size. Tis one of the evils of depending on a fixed (12px)
font size, I think. I can't read anything that small with any degree of
comfort.

That alt="divider line" must go. Alt text is supposed to be a text
replacement for an image, not a description of it.

Readability of those semi-opaque drop-down menus is seriously impaired.
Making text bold on :hover is a very bad idea, too. A lot of text jumps
around because bolding causes line wrapping, but normal weight doesn't.

I'm sure there are more, but you should worry about IE after correcting
some of these design issues.

Your page requires significant horizontal scrolling to read. Back and
forth, back and forth. This is sufficiently annoying as to cause a
visitor to exit. You need to make your page adaptable to any size
viewing window. Not everyone surfs the Web with their browser
maximized. Not everyone uses 1024x768 screen resolution. Some of us
need larger fonts than you expect.

Further, you have 85 XHTML errors as reported by
<http://validator.w3.org/>. Fix these -- which might affect all
browsers -- before trying to make the page work for a particular browser.

I found this site after I'd posted the question (where were you three
days ago?). It's knowing what to search for that makes a difference.
Thanks dorayme

caused by the posts on the blog, and others are caused by the validators
inability to validate php.

Berg, I can't say I like the design, it isn't mine, I'm just coding what
I'm told. The lady who wants it is very specific about all sorts of
things, including the width, and the opaque menu bar. I've taken out my
"designed by" bit as a result.

Good move on your part, I think. Hopefully the client will discover some
of her choices weren't such good ideas and hire you again to correct
them. You are warning her of the potential problems, right?

I was here desperately wanting someone to ask something - anything -
about a dropdown menu. But no one did. At least not that I saw. I cried
myself to sleep that night. It was horrible.
