Afternoon all!

Trying to edit a webtemplate to have a fancy dropdown menu using CSS and a drop of javascript.

Works perfect on Firefox but suprise suprise goes to pap on IE.

Link is: http://www.abluegrape.com/index.php

Any ideas why it won't work in IE?

Javascript is:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
// JavaScript Document

startList = function() {
if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" over";
  }
  node.onmouseout=function() {
  this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
   }
   }
  }
 }
}
window.onload=startList;
</script>

CSS is:
Code:
ul {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	list-style: none;
	}

ul li {
	position: relative;
	float: left;
	width: 16.6%;
}
	
li ul {
	position: absolute;
	left: 0; /* Set 1px less than menu width */
	top: auto;
	display: none;
	}

/* Styles for Menu Items */
ul li a {
	display: block;
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #777;
	background: #fff; /* IE6 Bug */
	padding: 2px;
	}
/* commented backslash mac hiding hack \*/ 
* html ul li a {height:1%}
/* end hack */ 

/* this sets all hovered lists to purple */
li:hover a, li.over a, li:hover li a:hover, li.over li a:hover {
   color: #fff;
   background-color: #aa10d1;
}

/* set dropdown to default */
li:hover li a, li.over li a {
    color: #777;
   background-color: #fff;
}
li ul li a { padding: 2px 5px; } /* Sub Menu Styles */
li:hover ul, li.over ul { display: block;} /* The magic */

and the bit in the HTML is:
Code:
<ul id="nav"> 
  <li><a href="<?=$base?>/index.php">Home</a></li> 
  <li><a href="<?=$base?>/#">Member Area</a>
    <ul>
	  <?php if ($LoggedIn== "1"){ ?>
	  <li><a href="<?=$securebase?>/welcome.php">My Account</a></li>
	  <li><a href="<?=$base?>/cart.php">My Basket</a></li>
	  <li><a href="<?=$base?>/helpdesk.php?search=open">Support System</a></li>
	  <li><a href="<?=$securebase?>/LogOut.php">Logout</a></li>
	  <?php if ($adminflag > "0"){?>
	  <li><a href="<?=$securebase?>/admin/adminwelcome.php">Admin Menu</a></li> 
	  <?php }?>
	  <?php }else{ ?>
	  <li><a href="<?=$securebase?>/aLogIn.php">Login</a></li>
      <li><a href="<?=$securebase?>/createacct.php">Create Account</a></li>
	  <?php } ?>
    </ul>
  </li>
