Wordpress help: Using Suffusion theme, navigation bar not working in Internet Explorer. The top-level item, set as a tab, is working. All the items beneath it are not. This is working fine in Chrome. What gives?

Best answer: Can you link to the troublesome page here? The theme preview works just fine for me in IE (tested in IE 8) so you must have modified it in some way...

Response by poster: Just shot you a MeMail with the URL, which I need to keep on the downlow for the moment.

Anyone else wants to give it a shot, let me know and I'll MeMail it to you. Thanks!

Best answer: According to IE's "developer tools," ie-fix.css isn't being loaded with the rest of the style sheets. I viewed that file and it mentions this particular problem, along with this bit in a comment:

See Ruthsarian Menus: Ruthsarian Layouts at http://webhost.bridgew.edu/etribou/layouts/rMenu/rMenu.css
There are details for z-index settings to avoid overlaps on the second line for IE 7

I loaded the Ruthsarian Menus URL and didn't find immediate answers but I think the gist of it is that you need to find a way to make IE load ie-fix.css. The current comment-hack isn't working. Hope that helps!
