IE Shock and Awe on Menus - Help

[salomon741]

If anyone has a solution or an idea for a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.

IE is blowing up my javascript dropdown menus, and I can't figure out why. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this site needs to be launched for my client very soon. It uses Spry and was tested (and worked) in FF3, Safari, and Chrome, and I can't figure out what could be different in IE. It works 95% in IE8, and blows up in IE6 and 7.

1. Why not use CSS menus instead of Javascript?
2. Your HTML is riddled with errors which could do with cleaning up.
3. The page takes forever to load. It must be huge.
3. Your Javascript probably doesn't work correctly because of the error message "Spry.Widget.MenuBar is not a constructor" on line 151 of something... which you can see in the Firefox Error Console. IE7 shows the same error (in its own hard to understand manner).
4. Firefox shows a second error "XML Filter is applied to non-XML value function getElementById() {[native code]}" on SpryDataUtils.js line 79 - Whatever that means.

I switched to CSS menus last night after the post and it is still blowing up. Not as bad this time around, but still not functioning properly in IE.

The load time could be from the SpryAssets (all of the graphics have been optimized). I thought I removed those files I didn't need for the menu but I'll look through it again. However, all of the menus are dynamically driven as per client request. Has anyone ever dealt with Spry to minimize the hundreds of Spry HTTP requests and load time?
