Hello. I'm doing a navigation for the site and have a problem.

I'm not very good with coding, but know the basics.

The problem is with CSS navigation in IE, being rendered improperly. Would appreciate if some code gurus could help :D

Firefox works fine, but IE is being an ass!

The navigation in IE is indented all the way to the right and that is bad.

I attached images so you can see Good(firefox) and Bad(IE).

Would really appreciate any help. Been pocking this thing for 3 hours still cant figure...

GOOD

Here's How the CODE looks like.

HTML:

<div id="lower">

<div id="wrap1">
<div id="corners1"></div>
<ul id="rightnav">
<li>
<a href="subitem1.html">Level 1 </a>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="" class="level2active">Level 2 </a>
<ul>
<li class="sublev3"><a href="">Level 3</a></li>
<li class="sublev3"><a href="">Level 3</a></li>
<li class="sublev3"><a href="">Level 3</a></li>
<li class="sublev3"><a href="">Level 3</a></li>
<li class="sublev3"><a href="" class="active">Level 3 </a></li>
<li class="sublev3"><a href="">Level 3</a></li>
<li class="sublev3"><a href="">Level 3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="sublev"><a href="subitem2.html">Level 2</a></li>
<li><a href="subitem3.html">Level 2 </a></li>
<li><a href="subitem4.html">Level 2 </a></li>
<li><a href="subitem5.html">Level 2 </a></li>
<li><a href="subitem5.html">Level 2 </a></li>
<li><a href="subitem5.html">Level 2 </a></li>
<li><a href="subitem5.html">Level 2 </a></li>
</ul>
<div id="corners2"></div>
</div>

Try to add this conditional comment (for IE):


<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
#rightnav ul {
padding-left: 0px;
margin-left:15px;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->

Fixed the problem. Not sure what it was, but I married two codes of navigation, one that worked and one that didn't. Probably a bloat in terms of validation but it works

Thanks for your suggestion though.
