Sub menu display I.E 7.0

Question

Hi,
Thanks for a fantastic extension.
I set-up a menu in Dreamweaver for site
http://www.pafiankingdom.com
and made some minor adjustments to the formatting. The navigation
menu displays correctly in I.E 6.0 and Firefox, but in I.E 7.0 the
sub menu's show up on top of the main menu items.
The CSS file looks like the following:

Perhaps my formatting changes have messed up it's
presentation in I.E 7.0. I don't seem to be able to locate the
problem.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
