Website NOT showing menu hover in Internet Explorer ???

[j4mes_bond25]

I seem to have Internet Explorer Compatibility Issue here.

My website can be seen perfectly well in Firefox but NOT in Internet Explorer. It can be seen on http://darsh25.tripod.com/alcohol.html

It's a CSS based website & on an online tuturial, I was told to download a file "csshover.htc" in order for my menu & submenus appear on Internet Explorer (cos of some compatibility issue).

The attached picture shows the hover effect of one of the topMenu link (Alcohol) & one of the leftMenu link (Whisky), which is what it should've been doing.

You might get some understanding from this article:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html

Interesting thing (although quite peculiar) is, all these menu hover links works perfectly well BOTH in Internet Explorer & in Firefox, if I test it using these 2 browser at home, but as soon as I uploaded my website on Internet, these menu hover effects DOES NOT work in Internet Explorer.

Below is that part of the code within my Style Sheet (the entire style sheet code is also provided at the end).

/* This Code is for Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser
as it shows the effect of "li:hover" */

body { behavior: url(csshover.htc); }


Now, I've uploaded all my files on my tripod websice along with "csshover.htc" file, as soon as the mouse is rolled over top or left menu, I can't see it's "hover" effect at all in Internet Explorer, but it's working OK in Firefox.

My Style Sheet code is:

/* CSS Document */

body 
{
background-image:url(background_champagne.gif);
background-attachment:fixed;
}

/* ........................................ Banner ........................................ */

div.banner
{

Listen there's only ONE thing i buy and it's dynamic html menus. It's just not worth messing with. I've worked with these for years, and even if you think yours works, it probably doesn't for someone else. Use these guys:
