CSS Drop Down does not work in IE

[DarrelMan]

I am very, very new to CSS. I have a drop down that works perfectly fine in Chrome and FireFox but does not work in Internet Explorerer and I cannot figure out why. I would appreciate any help given. Thanks

home.html

menu.css

style.css

Hello #DarrelMan First you forget to close one sentence in your CSS "menu.css": #nav li:hover ul li a:hover{background:#333;#nav ul{ Before start the ID "#nav ul", you should close the elements propierts from "#nav li:hover ul li a:hover" with one "}" after that, I had tried test on my internet explorer and works fine... but anyway, get this example "easy" to integer and may can help you with that issue. http://www.cssnolanche.com.br/lab/menu-dropdown/menu-dropdown.rar from the website: http://www.cssnolanche.com.br/css-dropdown-menu-sem-javascript-ou-hacks/

softdoni Thank you for your help and reply. I closed the bracket as you said but I still cannot get it working. I this an IE 9 issue? (that is the only version I have available to test it on) Any help is greatly appreciated.

Because without a set <!DOCTYPE> http://w3schools.com/html/html_doctype.asp IE remains in quirks (stupid) mode, it needs !DOCTYPE so it acts the same as other better browsers.
