Ok so I have a problem with IE. I don't use it but when I am in the university computer lab its the only thing on there. I noticed that my drop down menus go BEHIND the post heading text, instead of infront of it like it does on Opera and Chrome. Can someone help me?

I only ask because most people only use IE b/c they don't know any better, and my site targets people like that, who want to learn more about computers.

    In a lot of cases you need a different CSS Code for IE! I cant give you a solution without seeing the code but just google for a solution and use...

    Code:
    <!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/ie.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<![endif]-->

      Oh, DUH! Sorry I forgot to post the relevant code.
      I'm not sure which does what for the dropdown menu so Ill post what I think is it.
      HEADER:
      Code:
      <!--[if IE 7]>
 <link href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/forie7.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="no title" charset="utf-8"/>  
 <![endif]-->
 <!--[if IE 8]>
 <link href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/forie8.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="no title" charset="utf-8"/>  
 <![endif]-->
      Would this be it?

    It could be as simple as setting a z-index on the whole menu container, or as complicated as figuring out exactly which element is being drawn on top of the menu and fixing that.

    Without seeing the site, it's pretty much impossible to tell what's wrong. Positioning and stacking order is where to start, though.
