Solve : IE Display Issue with Spry Widget Menu Bar Vertical?

Answer» HELLO, I am working with a Spry Widget Menu Bar that is  Vertical. I have been checking the display on different browsers. In IE the sub-menu will not sit next to the main menu like in the other browsers. I am new to using a CSS please let me know what I missed. Here is what I get for the menus:

Google Chrome:



IE:

Here is my CSS:

Code: [Select]charset "UTF-8";

Thank you in advance. The answer is to edit the CSS with:

Code: [Select]ul.MenuBarVertical,
ul.MenuBarVertical li {
     width: 12.5em;
}
ul.MenuBarVertical ul,
ul.MenuBarVertical ul li {
     width: auto;
     white-space: nowrap;
}
