The following code will work in firefox, but not internet explorer. Could anyone tell my why it doesn't work in IE or tell me how to correct it to work?
HTML Code:

<ul id="menu">
  <li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="">Family</a>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="about-homepage.php">About Homepage</a></li>
    <li><a href="directory.php">Directory</a></li>
    <li><a href="events.php">Events</a></li>
    <li><a href="pictures.php">Pictures</a></li>
    <li><a href="pages.php">Pages</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><a href="company-about.php">Company</a>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="company-about.php">About Company</a></li>
    <li><a href="company-projects.php">Company Projects</a></li>
    <li><a href="company-portfolio.php">Company Portfolio</a></li>
    <li><a href="company-services.php">Company Services</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><a href="">Information</a>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="christmas-info.php">Christmas Info</a></li>
    <li><a href="feedback.php">Website Feedback</a></li>
    <li><a href="view-info.php">User Account Information</a></li>
    <li><a href="user-weather.php">Your Local Weather</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

CSS Code:

ul {
  font-family: Arial, Verdana;
  font-size: 14px;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
  width: 25.0em;

}
ul li {
  display: block;
  position: relative;
  float: left;
 }
li ul { display: none; }
ul li a {
  display: block;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #ffffff;
  border-top: 1px solid #ffffff;
  padding: 5px 15px 5px 15px;
  background: #2C5463;
  margin-left: 1px;
  white-space: nowrap;
}
ul li a:hover { background: #617F8A; }
li:hover ul {
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
}
li:hover li {
  float: none;
  font-size: 14px;
}
li:hover a { background: #617F8A; }
li:hover li a:hover { background: #95A9B1; }

"Doesn't work" is not a technical term. What doesn't work? Are you using a doctype?

Having problems with IE is expected and the norm.

No i'm not using a doctype and the "hover" feature of the menu does not work. The 4 basic buttons of the menu come up, but the menu doesn't drop down when you hover over a menu button.

I solved the problem, it was the missing doctype.

Entering the proper doctype for the file can save you alot of trouble in the end
