Hi all,

This is a pretty simple site but having so much trouble with the navigation, it is all screwed up in ie, the mission button is under home, and the drop-down text wont show...

this is the html file

			if (li.className == 'headlink')
			{
				li.onmouseover = function() { this.getElementsByTagName('ul').item(0).style.display = 'block'; }

	}
	/* or with jQuery:
	$(document).ready(function(){

I have a feeling it has to do with the positioning for the navigation div, or even the drop-down css but I haven't figured it out yet. Thank you for the help
