Well I would first try some different doctypes because im thinking that ie is going into quirks mode and thats causing you the issue.  However if you cant get one that works.

 

Maybe try

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"
		"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">
<html>

 

Seeing as your code appears correct I checked it against the A List Apart article for that code. You shouldnt have to mess with more of the CSS however if you do then you will just have to compensate by adjusting the padding of the elements with the smaller font.

 

Also take a look at this version of that menu.
