# WordPress ul/li problems for IE

 * Heya – so I’m working on this site: [http://west-valley-community-church.theportlandco.com/](http://west-valley-community-church.theportlandco.com/)
 * And in IE7 I’m getting serious damage. It’s incredibly frustrating because I 
   can’t make any sense of it. Compare it to Safari and you’ll see what I mean.
 * – The tab background isn’t positioning correctly in IE7 and I’ve tried everything
   including hacks to make it work to no avail.
    – The drop downs – even when positioned
   absolute – appear on the right of the tab. And when fixed/static they push the
   right corner image of the tab out to the 150px marker.
 * Extremely annoying and frustrating. These problems seem to be a combination of
   poor structure on WordPress’ part of navigation systems, and possibly plugins.
   But I really need some help here as I’m only like day three trying to fix this.
   Thanks.

 * Try blaming the 3 javascript errors in IE:
 * > Webpage error details
   > User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0;.
   > NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

 * Have you tried using conditional CSS classes?
 * The theme I’m working on is kind of twitchy too… what I ended up doing was wrapping
   the entire theme with a conditional DIV class that is only used when the browser
   opening the page is IE and then just adding a few extra classes specific to IE
   to correct the wonky spots.
 * **Here’s some info:**
    [http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2008/11/13/how-to-use-conditional-comments-for-better-css/#](http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2008/11/13/how-to-use-conditional-comments-for-better-css/#)
 * **Here’s how I did it:**
    In header.php:
 *     ```
       <body>
       <!--[if IE ]>
       <div class="ie">
       <![endif]-->
       .
       .
       .
       ```
   
 * Then in footer.php
 *     ```
       .
       .
       .
        <!--[if IE ]>
       </div>
       <![endif]-->
       </body>
       ```
   
 * Then you just edit the wonky CSS tags, such that you add an extra one – edited
   just for IE – wherever it seems to be screwing up. So if you’re having a problem
   with a class named “poop”
 * In style.css
 *     ```
       .poop {
       }
       .ie .poop{
       }
       ```

 * Hey guys/girls – thanks for the replies.
 * Sweetangst, yep I tried conditional classes. Thanks for the suggestion though.
 * ESMI – The drop down plugin I’m using is called suckerfish – so that makes sense
   with those errors. But I don’t see how those could be related to the issue’s 
   I mentioned? Particularly because I didn’t write that code and modifying them
   wouldn’t be the best of decisions I think since they’re modules written by JQuery
   and another third party. Can you elaborate?
 * Thanks!

 * Save,
 * I am taking the test for a friend, and installed wordpress mu plugin and Multi-
   level Navigation Plugin [http://domlele.com](http://domlele.com) in the beginning
   it worked, now the menu lists the categories, but giving this error in the visualization
   and execution.
 * In IE the error reported is as follows:
