Oh man will you kick yourself when I tell you what was causing the
problem.
In your menu class
.menu {font-family: georgia; width:530; height:30px; text-
align:center; position:relative; font-size:14px; left:50%;margin-
left:-265px;background:#fff;z-index:100;}
you omitted the px for width. While Firefox is smart enough to
assume you meant px, IE won't touch it. I can't even begin to recall
how many hours I've spent debugging a page and it was something as
simple as this.
BTW, I do web design for a living, so if you need any help learning
HTML/CSS/etc. hit me up. I know my fair share of this stuff.
Regards,
Dan Ryan
