i have a dropdown menu in css, it works fine in Chrome, FireFox, but not IE8, i haven’t checked it in IE6/7. but it seems hopeless.
my site at HERE.
The dropdown menu is the black one.
i think the problem is with the :hover, try searching around something like #button .a:hover, etc… but get no luck.
I hope you can help. the css file is HERE

Thank you sirs

    The problem is that you have not included a doctype on your website.

    Because you haven’t included a doctype, your page is rendering in Quirks mode in IE8:

    Quirks mode is a rendering mode used
    by some web browsers for the sake of
    maintaining backward compatibility
    with web pages designed for older
    browsers or coded without standards
    conformance.

    Add these two lines to the very top of your file:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>

    If you add in that magical doctype line, your drop down works in IE8 and IE7.

    You should move this part of your code to within your <body> tag.

    <span style="float:right;margin-top:10px;">
<a href=?lang=vn><img src="img/vn.gif"></img></a> 
<a href=?lang=en><img src="img/us.gif"></img></a>&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp
</span>

    Also, you can change it to something like this:

    <div style="position:absolute; top:10px; right: 10px">
    <a href="?lang=vn"><img src="img/vn.gif"></img></a> 
    <a href="?lang=en"><img src="img/us.gif"></img></a>
</div>
