First quick observation. You will never get IE to attempt to act like other modern browsers without a proper doctype. See the article about doctypes under Howtos above.

I'm just doing "fly-by" looks at this.
Only modern browsers allow "hover" on all elements. That leaves IE out which only understand hover on <a>

Here's one.

[HTML]<html>

<head>
<style type="text/css">

#navagation {
position:absolu te;
}

ul {
width:100%;
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

a {
float:left;
padding:0.2em 0.6em;
text-decoration:none ;
color:#000;
background-color:#fff;
border:1px solid #000;
}

a:hover {
color:#fff;
background-color:#000;
border:1px solid #fff;
}

li {
display:inline;
}

</style>
</head>

<body>
<div id="navagation" >

<ul>
<li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 5</a></li>
