Below is an entire test page that I'm working on (I realize that it is still ugly and cluttered). My issue is with the ul class="dropdown". I'm intending on it being a replacement for a SELECT so I can style it (again, not done yet). However, I cannot seem to position it where I want it. If you look at this page in FF3.5, that is how I want it to be positioned. However, in IE7, it is pushing the UL onto the next line instead of butting up against the label. I've tried numerous hacks that I've found online and none seem to help. What am I missing here?
