Spry menu positioning issue in IE?

Question

Hi,
I am quite new to dreamweaver and using spry menus but I have decided to create a horizontal spry bar in my website.
The menu works fine in safari but the menus and submenu are out of position when using IE and shift to the right.
Please could you let me know how I can fix this problem and if you can see any other issues in the code i need to sort out?
Here is the code:

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;
f\loat: left;
background: #FFF;
Also, i've noticed that when the menus go over the top of flash objects the text is not so clear or bright!!! If anyone knows a way to sort this that would be great too!

Add/modify the following
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li {
    text-align: left;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
    text-align: center;
