Nav Hover in IE Not woking

Hi group -

I'm just about ready to jump out the basement window trying to fix this
issue.

Can someone *please* take a look and enlighten me as to why this css is
not working in IE:

If you hover over the Accommodation link, there is a drop down
sub-menu.
Works in Netscape but not IE.

I'd be extremely grateful for any advice or pointers.

Thanks!

Because IE is deficient in :hover support. It works only for A tags.
The work-around involves setting the display-type for the A tags to
"block" and using :hover on them.

Interesting! I did not know this.

thanks for the reply - so - what is the usual method to accommodate
this IE annoyance ?

Should I have a conditional loop in my php to check for browser type,
and then load a different css based on the browser ?
thanks again
