That is giving this testpage <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-ect-ie-ori.htm>. I notice you are avoiding a (Suckerfish) javascript for the menu/submenu hovering in IE by applicating the "fake link trick" (hoverable bookmark-link with list-items inside) - which is not valid html. - But because the conditional comments around the IE-code, the validator doesn't see this, so "nobody knows". ;-)
Then we see that IE is not displaying the block-character of the menu-1 item (only the word "menu 1" is hoverable, not the whole line as in the other items), probably because the strange table inside. But by giving the menu-item a background, the line is coming back, and submenu can be clicked. (Perhaps you can forget all the z-indexes now; didn't try). See second testpage <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-ect-ie-new.htm>. I think it must be a sort of "hasNoLayout"/"hasLayout" reason; see Ingo Chao's: On having Layout <http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html>. btw: you are mixing up the css and the ie-hacks in an almost 1:1 relation; and using as well a lot of (css-pointed) conditional comments in the html. Shouldn't it be easier to split it up in a normal stylesheet plus an IE-only stylesheet (called by a cond.comm. in the head)?
