Menu drop down offset in Internet Explorer 7

Having some difficulty with a dropdown menu specifically in IE7. The menu functions correctly in all other browsers, but in IE7 it seems to be misaligned for some reason. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated. Please refer to the menu code below, along with the computed CSS from Firebug and visual representations of the issue.

Menu Offset

HTML Code

<ul id="coolMenu">
 <li class="">
    <a class="donate" href="#">
        User Options
        <span class="downarrowclass"></span>
    </a>

    <ul id="style_me" style="display: none;">
        <li>
            <a href="#">Candidate Panel</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#">Access details</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#">Personal details</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#">History</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#">Withdraw application</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#">Jobs by e-mail</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#">Log off</a>
        </li>
    </ul>
</li>
</ul>

CSS Code

#coolMenu,
#coolMenu ul {
   list-style: none;
}
#coolMenu {
   float: right;
}
#coolMenu > li {
   /*float: left;*/
}
#coolMenu li a {
    display: block;
    text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
}
#coolMenu ul {
    position: absolute;
    display: none;
    z-index: 999;
}


#coolMenu li:hover ul {
display: block;
}

.dropdown a li{
color: #124162 !important;
}

#coolMenu li #style_me  li  a{
color: #124162 !important;
width: 140px !important;
}

#coolMenu li #style_me  li  a:hover {
color: #ffffff !important;
}

In case it's helpful, there appears to be an offset issue as shown in the IE developer tab:

You can also view the calculated code in iedeveloper for the ul coolmenu.

Answer №1

To resolve this issue, you can specifically target IE7 by utilizing the code below:

Html.ie7 #coolMenu ul {
top: 59px;
left: 71px;
}
