.menu ul ul {
visibility:hidden;
position:absolute;
height:0;
top:31px;
left:0; 
width:150px;
}


13)
/* another hack for IE5.5 */
* html .menu ul ul {
top:30px;
t\op:31px;
}



14)
/* position the third level flyout menu */
.menu ul ul ul{
left:150px; 
top:0;
width:150px;
}


15)
/* position the third level flyout menu for a left flyout */
.menu ul ul ul.left {
left:-150px;
}


16)
/* style the table so that it takes no ppart in the layout - required for IE to work */
.menu table {position:absolute; top:0; left:0;}


17)
/* style the second level links */
.menu ul ul a, .menu ul ul a:visited {
background:#FFFFAE; 
color:#000; 
height:auto; 
line-height:1em; 
padding:5px 10px; 
width:129px


18)
/* yet another hack for IE5.5 */
}
* html .menu ul ul a{
width:150px;
w\idth:129px;
}


19)
/* style the top level hover */
.menu a:hover, .menu ul ul a:hover{    
color:#FFF; 
background: #2C2093;
}


20)
.menu :hover > a, .menu ul ul :hover > a {     /* rightly done */
color:#fff;
background-image: url(blue_bar.jpg)  ; 
}


21)
/* make the second level visible when hover on first level list OR link */
.menu ul li:hover ul,
.menu ul a:hover ul{
visibility:visible; 
}


22)
/* keep the third level hidden when you hover on first level list OR link */
.menu ul :hover ul ul{
visibility:hidden;
}


23)
/* make the third level visible when you hover over second level list OR link */
.menu ul :hover ul :hover ul{ 
visibility:visible;
}

My problem is when I try to change background in 19) to background-image: url(graphic.jpg). The drop down menu does not work at all in IE. But in 8) for second level drop downs, I am changing background to background-image and it works in IE. I got this from cssplay.com.

Thanks

IE does have some bugs, I would recommend that you try to create the code from scratch or contact the website you copied to code from for some help.
