hi Guys, i was wondering if anyone here could give me some help with a problem im having trying to get a CSS menu working in Internet Explorer

if you go to my site: http://www.stefairclough.com/menu/ and use Firefox the menu displays as i want it but in IE its a complete mess. i have no idea why this is? any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Ive really been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work but really dont want to give up on it.

thanks in advance, Steven

you are closing more ul's and li's than you are opening.
FF and NS seems to ignore that.
But ie is soooo strict, and kinda uses every chance it have, to mess up a page.

remove those in red

Code:

..........
<div id="menu"> 
              <ul>
                <li> 
                  <h2>ORGANIZATION</h2>

                  <ul>
                    <li><a href="#" title="About us (Home)">About us (Home)</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" title="Recently filed co's - North">Recently 
                      filed co's - North</a> 
                    <li><a href="#" title="Recently filed co's - South">Recently 
                      filed co's - South</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" title="Terms of Usage">Terms of Usage</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" title="Contact Us">Contact Us</a></li>
                  </ul>

                </li>
                  </ul>
                </li>
              </ul>
