   On shakymolars.com, the php menu does not show up at all in Internet Explorer 7 or 8.

   header.php:

   <nav>
       <ul>
       	<li><?php wp_nav_menu(array('menu' => 'Main Nav Menu')); ?></li>
       </ul>
       </nav>

   functions.php:

   if (function_exists('register_nav_menus')) {
   		register_nav_menus(
   			array(
   				'main.nav' => 'Main Navigation Menu'
   			)
   		);
   	}

   Any ideas why? It seems to show up in all the other browsers just fine.

   I'm having the same issue in all IE versions with similar code:

   <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>

   I tested out for the classic IE margin/float/width/absolute positioning/z-index issues, and it really seems like the menu items are literally not there, not just getting blocked out by something else.

   My site is http://griefland.com. (It's behind an Under Construction plugin while working.)

   Thanks for your help!

   No one can really help if it's behind that plugin. Check your code errors with http://validator.w3.org/

   I can make a username/pass for help, but not sure if I'm allowed to post that here?

   That's what I thought. So how can I create a user so you guys can help? Much appreciated!

   Julia,
   The hierarchy of child elements through the wp_nav_menu() function means the CSS for the menu will break in older Internet Explorer browsers.
   A specific example is through the CSS selector li > ul.

   Perhaps this has something to-do with your issue.

   Yeah, it sure seems like IE isn't responding correctly to wp_nav_menu, but it's also broken even in newer versions, so I'm really not sure where the issue is.

   Do you have any resources I can read about the li > ul issue?

   Should I replace wp_nav_menu with an older function?

   Blargh. Thanks for your help!

   Actually, it turned out that my renderer just wasn't showing it right, and the menu *does* work in IE. I was able to fix other issues through CSS tweaks. Thanks guys!
