Browser Frustration . . .

I'm working on GLITZ for my personal information and company requirements. What's GLITZ? It's all the fancy stuff User Interface (UI) stuff that makes websites and web applications interesting. If you look at LiveToad, you'll see that I have a JQuery menu that displays well in EVERY browser EXCEPT Windows Internet Explorer (IE). It's VERY frustrating. Just display the page in FireFox, Chrome, Safari and things work as expected. Fire up IE 8 (the standard for our company, by the way, is IE SIX!) and things go to heck. Why can't Microsoft be like everyone else in the known universe? Their latest SharePoint 2010 is loaded with JavaScript and they're using JQuery. AARGH!
