Hi All,

I recently made a navigation menu bar for our company intranet. I have it working on IE and Firefox, however the menus do not drop down on IE7.

I think that the problem is related to the css style below, but have tried a nubmer of things with no success. I have also have a link to a zip file with all the files
here

If someone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Code: 
.menu ul li a, .menu ul li a:visited {
	display:block; 
	text-decoration:none; 
	width:144px; 
	text-align:center;
	color:#fff; 
	height:24px;
	line-height:22px;
	overflow:hidden;
	background-image: url(img/lev0_bg1.gif);
	background-color: #2C5F93;
}
