menu appears invisable in Windows IE

Hi,

New user just getting to grips with this menu. So far it's worked beautifully in Firefox (mac and pc) but in windows IE it doesn't appear at all.

See http://nang-nang.net/temp/index2.html
Note that index2 is made up of iframes, the top containing a flash swf, the lower the text content and DHTML menu (bottom iframe is 'main.html')

When the mouse rolls over where the menu should appear, I get links being displayed in the status bar, including 'javascript:void(0);' and 'contact.html' for example, so it's as if the menu is there, but invisible!

Can anyone tell me why?

Thanks!

this is it: my code...
i've set the offsets in the 'menu_data.js' to 'top=0;' and 'left=0;' so the menu should appear to divide the top flash swf from the content below.

Code:

<style>
BODY{
  SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #FFFFFF;
  SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #A9A9A9;

  SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #000000;
  SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #FF00FF;

  }
</style>

Hi,

It is the Div which contains the iframe for the main htm page that has the menu. More specifically it is the code
Code:
FILTER: chroma (color=#FF00FF);
in that div. If you remove that, then the menu shows up. The menu has coding for use of the IE filters and transitions and it seems that code is applying to the menu and over-riding the background color and such. If you remove that from that particular div, the menu shows and as far as I can see it looks just like it does in FF.
