Spry menu bar extra space

Question

I have put a spry menu bar into Dreamweaver and everything is working except there is a small space on the left of the submenus inside the submenu border.It's kind of hard to see because everything is blue, but if you look closely you can see it.
I have played around with the css (and probably messed a few things up along the way), but I cannot seem to get rid of this space.
Screen shot and css below:

/* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) */

/* Menu items that have a submenu have the class designation MenuBarItemSubmenu and are set to use a background image positioned on the far left (95%) and centered vertically (50%) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenu
/* Menu items that have a submenu have the class designation MenuBarItemSubmenu and are set to use a background image positioned on the far left (95%) and centered vertically (50%) */

BROWSER HACKS: the hacks below should not be changed unless you are an expert
/* HACK FOR IE: to make sure the sub menus show above form controls, we underlay each submenu with an iframe */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal iframe
position: absolute;
z-index: 1010;
filter:alpha(opacity:0.1);
/* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */
@media screen, projection
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE
display: inline;

background: #FFF;

Answer 1

Yes, I noticed the left margin after I had posted the reply. I guess I am doing my name proud with old age setting in.
I left the document and the CSS file as you had it and added the following style rules to correct the situation.
You can choose
add these to your document after the link to SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
add these to the bottom of SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
adjust the style rules within SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css to reflect the changes.
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li {
margin-left: 0;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li {
width: 8.2em;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul {
     margin: -5% 0 0 95%;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible {
     left: auto;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
     padding: 0.5em 2.75em;
The highlighted values in the last style rule can/must be adjusted to suit.
