Hi,

IE7 and under don’t really understand auto positions on absolute elements so you need to set an explicit top position.

e.g.From your fiRst link:


*+html ul.menu_horiz li ul{top:4.4em;margin-top:0!important;padding-top:0!important}
* html ul.menu_horiz li ul{top:4.4em;margin-top:0!important;padding-top:0!important}

There are as number of issues in IE6 though but I guess you aren’t supporting it.
