Hi. I can see what that needs to be done... Have you coded it? If you would like, I can just paste you some code you need to change...

Doh, sorry if I'am spoiling any ones chance to get paid for this, but I couldn't help just fixing it... So sad if only IE customers should be able to use the drop down... ;)
This is what that needs to be replaced:

// Try XMLHTTPRequest
var req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
if (req) {
req.open("GET", "getModels.php?is_main=1&make="+value, false);
req.send();
if (req.status == 200) {
model.outerHTML = "<select name=model size=1 id=model><option value=0>Any</option>" + req.responseText + "</select>";
didit=1;
}
}

With this code:

// Try XMLHTTPRequest
var req;
// We try some different methods, to see which the users browser may support
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
req = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
try {req = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");}
catch(e)
{
try{req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");}
catch(e) {req = null;}
}
}
else
{
req = null;
}

if (req)
{
req.open("GET", "getModels.php?is_main=1&make="+value, false);
req.send(null);
if (req.status == 200)
{
model.outerHTML = "<select name=model size=1 id=model><option value=0>Any</option>" + req.responseText + "</select>";
didit=1;
}
}

Of course, I haven't tested this with your site, but I have a good feeling about this:) Just tell me if it isn't working as espected.
