    Default Spry Horizontal Menu IE Position Issue

    I'm developing a site with a Spry Horizontal Menu. I want the menu links
    centered (ul.MenuBarHorizontal li) - the spacing looks so much better in this
    application. The only problem is in IE: the submenus end up starting from the
    center of the parent link - not centering the submenu entirely. If I set
    "ul.MenuBarHorizontal li"'s text alight to left the subs work ok, but the link
    spacing looks funny.

    According to DW's help menu the sub menus are controlled by the following
    code, but I can make these values anything I want with no results.

    /* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%)
    */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul
    {
    position: absolute;
    margin: -5% 0 0 95%;


    I have tried to find solutions online, but couldn't find one. An Adobe person
    thought maybe the centering of the entire menu might be the issue. I have
    experimented a bit with this (I am doing it with a table that is centered),
    with no changes.

    The problem is in the CSS... Any ideas anyone?

    Default Re: Spry Horizontal Menu IE Position Issue

    I've been having problems with the horizontal menu in IE as well. I have
    discovered that to center the main menu items without having the submenu begin
    at the center of the parent item, put the "text-align:center" under
    "ul.MenuBarHorizontal a" rather than the "ul.MenuBarHorizontal li". I'm still
    working on making the submenu items look nice - I don't like them centered but
    if they are text-aligned left then they end up beginning far to the right of
    the parent item (because the parent is centered with respect to it's container).
