Another IE positioning issue

[gpigate]

I dont know why, but I never can spot them.

The navigation menu is the issue, in FF it floats the middle just fine but in all ie's its at the top.

.chromestyle ul   { background: repeat-x center; text-align: center; margin: 0; padding: 0px; width: 100%;vertical-align:middle }

.chromestyle ul li { display: inline; }

.chromestyle ul li a    { color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Arial; font-weight:bold; text-decoration: none; margin: 0; padding: 0px 15px 0 15px; font-size:14px; vertical-align:middle}

.chromestyle ul li a:hover  { color: #BABABA; background: repeat-x center }
