  <p>Live html can be found here, but I think the problem is the CSS.

  <p>I am having issues getting this menu to display correctly.  It works in chrome or firefox, just not in IE.  The menus are collapsed (the li padding doesnt work) and the alignment is all out of whack on vertical alignment.  Your help is appreciated.</p>
