   I created this site: http://fortifood.co.za at a different location and then transferred it to it's current location. I checked it's compatibility with Firefox, Chrome and IE9, and all was honky-dory... until my client called me and asked why his site wasn't working.

   He said he was using IE8 (which - we have to face the facts - most uninformed Internet users are probably using) and, apart from the "Visit the shop" link in the right column, not a single link on the page was working (including the menu items).

   So I tested the site in IE8 and true's nuts, it's exactly as he said... in fact, you can't even select the text or images - it's as if there's an invisible layer over the entire site!

   This is obviously not a very happy situation, but I'm buggered if I can figure out how to fix it. Does anyone have an idea?

   Start by sorting out the markup errors. Then move onto the CSS errors.

   If you continue to have problems with IE, consider conditional comment CSS

   Hey Esmi, would you perhaps be willing to fix it for me (depending on your fee, of course). I'm not much of a programmer and I'm a little stumped here.
