Try removing the dangling comma:

$('ul', this).animate({opacity: "show", }, "slow");

so that:

$('ul', this).animate({opacity: "show"}, "slow");

If this does not work, make sure IE is not displaying your page in quirks mode or is using the old rendering engine by running your HML like this:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en-us">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge">

Try using .find () instead of $ ('ul', this)

Example $ (This) .find ('ul') live (etc ...) ;.

here is a link to a js fiddle using an example. It seems to do what you want to do, and works in ie8.

Hope this helps some!
