access denied to csshover.htc

trying to get menu working in IE

[SEO_Dummy]

I am trying to make a new site that looks a little more professional than my previous sites. I want to have a fancy horizontal popup navigation menu. I found a nice tutorial, created the html, and the css. And of course it didn't work in IE. Then I learned that I needed csshover.htc to fix it.
Now I am getting this error message:
Error: Access is denied to csshover.htc
But the URL in the error message is pointing to another file than this csshover.htc.

I guess it is all a little too complicated for me. But it was all ok, up to the point of getting the thing to work in IE. And now I am not sure how to use the htc file.

I have two hover commands in the menu. One for the colour, that is working fine now. And the other:
ul li:hover ul {display: block;}
is not working.

Any help would be great!

Shouldn't it be

ul, li:hover {display: block;}

It doesn't change a thing. And access is still denied.
I have found this error several times mentioned in different forums on the internet, but can't find the answer to the problem.

Use the absolute url to the htc file and not a relative one.

I'm still working on an offline version. Should I add "D: etc" for now and change it before uploading?

Thanks a lot! The error message is gone. I will fix the url before uploading, though.

Only the menu is still not popping up in IE. In other browsers it is ok.

Post all the CSS for the menu.

some thoughts..

1. the csshover.htc should be called relative to the CSS file (like an image)
2. you can't link to someone elses (or your own) online version from an offline file (think some firewalls block it?)
3. have you got active scripting turned off in your IE? (menu still requires javascript on for it to work)
4. try this method [webmasterworld.com] as a inline/offline test to see if it's going to work for you, if it doesn't likely csshover.htc won't either because the either the code is wrong or your js is turned off.
5. posting your code as angelis says will help us check 4 with you
