This one is breaking my brain! I have an horizontal spry menu bar in my website that renders correctly in all browsers except ie 8 and below where it appears like an unordered list - almost like no CSS had been applied at all. You can check out the site here http://www.webhance.com.au. The spry css looks like this:

ul.MenuBarHorizontal iframe

The HTML for the section looks like this:
<div class="header">
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a href="index.html" id=button1>Home</a></li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Services</a>

<li><a href="design.html">Web Design</a> </li>
<li><a href="maintenance.html">Web Maintenance</a></li>

</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="portfolio.html">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a> </li>
</ul>
<!-- end .header --></div>
I really really need some help - hope someone out there can point me in the right direction :-)
