http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp About 10% of the WHOLE internet is using IE (2014- Q1 2015), so if it's too complicated to fix it (I really can't help you with your code) you can postpone it. Generaly, IE is a very bad browser in many terms (reduced compatibility, security problems etc), and not many people use it.

Just curious about something. Can Jquery help with this, and isn't Jquery usually compatible with version of IE all the way down to IE6?

I really can't say anything, I am completely ignorant of CSS.
