This isn't the same thing - IE doesn't support :hover on anything
else than <a>, and your <li> elements (obviously) aren't inside
<a> elements.
When I disable JavaScript, not even the first link above works. I
don't know where your script is, or what's in it. Perhaps it
contains an absolute url so that it works for your local file but
not for the uploaded one? Or it writes stuff that needs to be
together with the CSS styles, so there fore it needs to sit in
the html file together? I don't know any JavaScript anyway, but
the answer must be somewhere in there I suspect.

Yup, won't work on IE.

Did you also upload the JavaScript?
