Spry dropdown menubar works in everything but IE

Question

I'm having a problem with a site I just launched. The site: www.gmiloans.com/commercial
When viewed in IE, the buttons that have a menu overlap with the buttons directly to the left. I've researched left and right but for the life of me, I can't figure out a fix.
Here's my CSS file:
/* The outermost container of the Menu Bar, an auto width box with no margin or padding */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
width: auto;
border-top-width: 0px;
border-right-width: 0px;
border-bottom-width: 0px;
border-left-width: 0px;
border-top-style: none;
border-right-style: none;
border-bottom-style: none;
border-left-style: none;
/* Set the active Menu Bar with this class, currently setting z-index to accomodate IE rendering bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html */
ul.MenuBarActive
z-index: 1000;
/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 9pt;
position: static;
text-align: left;
cursor: pointer;
width: auto;
float: left;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
background-color: #888;
/* Submenus should appear below their parent (top: 0) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 9pt;
z-index: 1020;
cursor: default;
width: 8.2em;
position: absolute;
left: -1000em;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color: #888;
background-image: url(images/header-template_05.gif);
float: right;
/* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to auto so it comes onto the screen below its parent menu item */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
left: auto;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 9pt;
color: #888;
/* Menu item containers are same fixed width as parent */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li

border-bottom-style: none;
border-left-style: none;
padding: 2px;

background-color: #bbb;
/* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul
position: absolute;
margin: -5% 0 0 95%;
border-top-width: 0px;
border-right-width: 0px;
border-bottom-width: 0px;
border-left-width: 0px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-bottom-style: none;
/* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to 0 so it comes onto the screen */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
left: auto;
top: 0;
border-top-style: solid;
border-right-style: solid;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-left-style: solid;

Hi,
Firstly, I cannot see what you have done because the online code has not changed.
Secondly, have a look here to see what is wrong with your HTML-code.
Thirdly, have a look at removing your tables and using DIV's instead as per following example
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
    font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
    padding: 0;
    text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFF;
#container {
    width: 839px;  /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */
    background: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
    text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
#header {
    background: #DDDDDD;
    padding: 0;  /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it. If an image is used in the #header instead of text, you may want to remove the padding. */
#menu {
    margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
    padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
    font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-weight: bold;
#mainContent {
    padding: 0 20px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
    background: #FFFFFF;
#footer {
    padding: 0 10px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear above it. */
    background:#DDDDDD;
#footer p {
    margin: 0; /* zeroing the margins of the first element in the footer will avoid the possibility of margin collapse - a space between divs */
    padding: 10px 0; /* padding on this element will create space, just as the the margin would have, without the margin collapse issue */

</html>
If you want differing widths for your menu items then add a CSS rule as follows
<li style = "width: 70px;"><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
For obvious reasons, I have not completed your page completely, the above is merely an example.
I hope this helps.
