Hi, for some reason my website menu does not seem to be appearing in IE 7 and 8. I have a <ul> menu when each item has a background image, however those images do not seem to be showing in those browser versions.

background: url(new_menu2.png) 0 -111px no-repeat;

png32?

Na, its png24.

Not worked with CSS for a long while, but would the correct syntax for this not be:

{
background-image: url(new_menu2.png) 0 -111px no-repeat;
}

with 'background-image', instead of 'background'

I hope that helps

Na, that didn't seem to help, for some reason in the IE 7 and 8 there seems to be some jQuery attribute in the <a> element of my menu, jQuery17107365838779562464="1", and was wondering what that was? Is that affecting it, cos in IE 9 my site seems to work fine.

No idea if that is affecting it, is the short answer? Do you have a jquery effect on the menu? If not then it shouldnt be there. Is this a menu you have made from scratch? Any chance of a link?

I found out the problem, it was because I was using a HTML5 element header which the older IE's didnt recognise.

Try shivving it, should remove any HTML5 element issues back to IE7, at least. (Probably does 6 and earlier, too, but i've never cared or bothered to check.)
