ddsmoothmenu problem in IE8

[gr00vytunes]

1) Script Title: ddsmoothmenu

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...smoothmenu.htm

3) Describe problem: The Menu works perfect in Firefox at www.fvpa.co.uk but in IE8 it does not render correctly, I have had it working, but am at a loss as to why it is currently broken! I'm sure it must be related to the html menu links/names, i will keep trying to resolve it, in the meantime if someone has a few minutes to take a look that would be great..

Many Thanks

ok found out I had some </il> and </ul> in the wrong places..

To work it out I deleted code backwards until the bar looked correct, then i added each menu item in turn.. Voila !
