Thanks very much for this -- it looks good and the links work great. Hower, I've had some trouble getting the menu to toggle to the menu icon when the viewport gets small. The menu items just keep shifting left, until they disappear (at around 340px). My code is below if you (or anyone else) want to try it (your css code is contained in css/ie8topbarfix.css):
