jPages Demo does not show Filtrify dropdown menu in IE8

[macsupport]

First, I am a mac user and hate IE, especially when designing or coding, that said, I was testing a site on IE8 with your online jPages/Filtrify demo page and note that the Filtrify dropdowns are not visible. No problems in Mac or PC Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
