Being relatively new to CSS, I find I am spending a lot of time making it work in IE ("7" in particular).
So, does it make sense to have a forum "How can I get this to work with IE" or "Why won't this work with IE"

At this point, I am a believer in dual CSS sheets. From an organization perspective, it provides clarity (i.e. I know the code I am looking at is specifically for IE) and isolates the problem to a specific file. So I put this in each web site header:

<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style_ie.css" />
<![endif]-->
 
<![if !IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
<![endif]>

(For beginners, don't let the comment stuff throw you off, it works.)

A good start would be, the following works in Firefox but the drop-down does not happen with IE7, what needs to be changed to make it work in IE:

#outside{
	border:1px solid #000000;
	background:#000000;
	}
#navigation-1 {
	padding:1px 0;
	margin:0px;
	list-style:none;
	width:100%;
	height:21px;
	border-top:1px solid #FFFFFF;
	border-bottom:1px solid #FFFFFF;
	font:normal 10pt verdana, arial, helvetica;
}
#navigation-1 li {
	margin:0;
