IE 8 / VS2008 Issue

I am working on an XP system using VS2008 to develop web pages.

I am trying to use the ASP.NET Menu control.

I cannot got an example to work properly, or more accurately I cannot get
the example to work mon my system! I have created a web page to illustrate
my issue.

www.twelve.me.uk/JCDarts/TestMenu.aspx

When developing this I was viewing it on my localhost and I cannot see the
sub menu items. At first I did not think anything was happening, then I saw
that something was happening because a block was appearing over the text on
the bottom of the test page.

I uploaded the file and viewed it on a Remore site, again through IE 8 and I
had the same issue.

As you will see the code is an exact copy of some I got from a Microsoft
page. When I view this code from the Microsoft site it works without issue.

On my laptop I have IE7. When I view the page from my remote site it works
properly.

I have included images of what I see from both IE versions.

My question is why am I having the issue when viewing the file in IE 8 from
my localhost and remote site?

One would hope that you as an MVP would give a little more assistance that
just posting a list of alternative reasearch areas.

Do you have any knowledge on my issue which would assist me?

Paul, this discussion would be more appropriate in that IE Development
Forums. We basically deal with user issues here.
