IE still reads li:hover but does nothing. > tells CSS to use the element after the one specified, IE reads this entire entry as UNDEFINED and can't do anything with it, which requires IE9.js specifically to allow this to work (or lengthy scripts that have similar functions). Currently IE5.5 through 7 have no way to mimic that behavior in CSS, and loading IE9.js adds several seconds of "frozen" load time to a page. The only way to make it work natively in IE is to change your HTML markup to use hidden child elements inside of neighboring elements. Unfortunately it's technically not valid HTML to put block elements inside inline -.-;; well, with the li:hover js fix it's fine - my opinion is to include that js fix in and then change the HTML markup, put the hover menu ul's inside the parent li li:hover is supported easily with the IE9.js as well as others that don’t lag..

It is impossible to make this work in it's current state without editing the entire hover states of the CSS, as well as the HTML markup to be compatible with CSS hover action. The > operator has no support in IE until IE9. However, this project http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/ .. If you put that into your site it will allow it to work, since it gives IE6, 7, and 8 full support of the > operator (which is key in this case for the menu to work) To the author: My suggestion would be to put a note about that on the main page, or to change the menu so its compatible. I don't think offering wordpress themes that deliberately ignore IE is a good idea without some sort of note saying it won't work. Or at the very least say that it won't work in IE.

Is it possible to disable the top-level parent link? That page on my site is blank, only the nested pages have content. Even if I could change the link to '#' that would do it. Thanks, Rob.
