Vertical Submenu not working in IE

I made a vertical spry menu bar with a few submenus. These submenus do not show on Internet Explorer, but show up in FF, Opera, and Netscape & (Safari-of course). Please let me know what I have to change for this to work! I have been trying all different kinds of things and cannot seem to get it working.

The below is my code...

Hi, try this one:

/***CSS***/

@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */

body {
behavior: url(csshover3.htc);
font-size: 100%;
}
/*
the Magic Ingredient for drop down menus to look perfect in IE, the csshover.htc file.
*/

#menu {
width: 100%;
background: #CCCCCC;
float: left;
}
#menu ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 12em;
float: left;
}

#menu ul li {
float: left;
width: 100%;
}

#menu ul li a {
height: 1%;
}

/*
REFER to THE CODE ABOVE:
Firstly this time the #menu div is still our "container" only this time we want it to be 100% wide, so we could leave it as it is because it would default to this. However to properly contain the floated child lists if we also float the #menu div is will stretch to contain its floated children.

We then need to set the required dropdown width but this time it goes directly onto the <ul> elements themselves, and the need to be floated in order to appear side by side. We also still need to remove all the default padding, margins and bullets from the <ul>s the same as before.
*/

#menu a, #menu h2 {
font: bold 0.7em/1.4em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
display: block;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #006699;
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 3px;
}

#menu h2 {
color: #FFFFFF;
background: #000;
text-transform:uppercase;
}

#menu a {
color: #000000;
background: #006666;
text-decoration:none;
}

#menu a:hover {
color: #990099;
background: #FFFFFF;
}

/*
Then we apply the required formatting to the <h2> headings and the <a> anchors, again I'm using the same formatting as the vertical menu
*/

#menu li {
position: relative;
}

#menu ul ul ul {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 100%;
}

/*Positioning the Pop-out Drops*/

#menu ul ul {
position: absolute;
z-index: 500;
}

/*
However now, which is not apparent yet in these simple demo pages, we have a problem if there is text underneath this navigation bar, which there would most likely be in a real page.

We can do this by pulling it out of the flow using absolute positioning again, only this time we don't want to give it any offset co-ordinates, because we're actually happy with where it is, and just in case we'll give it a high z-index to ensure it and it's children actually do appear over the top of any positioned text that may follow.
*/


div#menu ul ul {
display: none;
}
/*Hiding and Revealing using :hover*/

div#menu ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
/*Again the convoluted CSS to keep IE happy, this time when we hover over the first <li> which is in fact the heading too we want the child lists to appear*/

div#menu ul ul,
div#menu ul li:hover ul ul,
div#menu ul ul li:hover ul ul {
display: none;
}

div#menu ul li:hover ul,
div#menu ul ul li:hover ul,
div#menu ul ul ul li:hover ul {
display:block;
}
/*
the display: block; rules show the three levels being activated with the display: none; rules being entered afterwards to more specifically hide the unwanted (deeper nested) lists (counteract them).
