    Default Spry submenu shifted in IE7 not in Firefox

    I cannot seem to correct an issue I am having whereby the drop down horizontal
    submenu appears directly under the main menu button in Firefox but is shifted
    over about 50% in IE7. I haven't run into this issue before with my other sites
    but I am stumpted. The only thing different with this site is that I used the
    spry updater from 1.6 to 1.6 - in essence, it should have just overwrote the
    files with the same files.

    Here is the page. Try it in IE7 and Firefox and you will see what I mean.

    Here is the spry horizontal menu css:

    Default Re: Spry submenu shifted in IE7 not in Firefox

    I found what the problem. It is the command:

    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li {
    text-align: center;

    If this is changed to "left:" the submenu appears directly under menu in IE7
    and Firefox.

    The solution is:

    ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
    text-align: center;

    Hope someone else might benefit from my mistake.

    :embarrassment;
