Spry MenuBar - IE6 - how to make that submenu is shown above the parent element

Question

Hi you all,
I need the menubar to open the submenu above the parent element.
Here´s what I did:I inserted a spry menubar and the only css-change I did was the one shown below in red "botom: 2em;"
This works exactly as I need it to - in Safari, Firefox and Opera.
In IE6 however, the submenu is shown far below the parent element. Is there a solution?

/* 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: 100%;
    z-index: 1020;
    cursor: default;
    width: 100px;
    position: absolute;
    left: -1000em;
    bottom: 2em;

Possibly.  It's hard to tell without seeing your page, though.

The position of Spry Menu Bar submenus is controlledby the margin 
property on submenu ul tags.
1. Locate the ul.MenuBarVertical ul or ul.MenuBarHorizontalul rule.
2. Change the margin: -5% 0 0 95%; default values to the desired 
values.

Also, look through the CSS coments for IE hacks. Often these 
workarounds for older browsers can be commented out or deleted.  
Test before you delete anything permanently.
