    Default UL Stretched Out In IE

    I got a very awesome script on here from someone in the forums. They were very nice and their script works...which is much more than I can say about the one I wrote before...
    It's for a drop down menu, www.flamehtmlstudios.com/amanda/beta
    Now, I don't even need the js in Mozilla...
    But I do in IE...
    And in IE, it stretches out the UL that the links are in.
    Now, I don't know why.
    I'm curious as to whether or not anyone can look at the following code and give me the reason? Thanks a ton!

    JavaScript:
    Code:
    if (document.getElementById)
      this.onload = function() {
        var className = 'over',
            pattern = new RegExp('(^|\\s+)' + className + '(\\s+|$)'),
            navigation, elements;
    
        function showSubmenu() {
          if (!pattern.test(this.className))
            this.className += ' ' + className;
        }
        function hideSubmenu() {
          this.className = String(this.className).replace(pattern, ' ');
        }
        function hasSubmenu(element) {
          var nodes;
    
          if ((nodes = element.childNodes))
            for (var i = 0, n = nodes.length; i < n; ++i)
              if (nodes[i].tagName == 'UL')
                return true;
          return false;
        }
    
        if ((navigation = document.getElementById('nav'))
            && navigation.getElementsByTagName) {
          elements = navigation.getElementsByTagName('li');
    
          for (var i = 0, n = elements.length; i < n; ++i)
            if (hasSubmenu(elements[i])) {
              elements[i].onmouseover = showSubmenu;
              elements[i].onmouseout = hideSubmenu;
            }
        }
        navigation = elements
            = null;
      };

    And here's the CSS (or at least what applies to the ul):
    Code:
    #nav{ 
    clear: both; 
    background: #cc9999; 
    height: 25px;
    margin-bottom: 2px;}
    
    	#nav ul{
    	padding: 0;
    	margin: 0;
    	list-style: none;}
    
    	#nav li{ 
    	margin: 0; 
    	padding-top: 3px; 
    	padding-bottom: 4px;	
    	padding-left: 10px;	
    	padding-right: 10px; 
    	border-right: 1px solid #fff; 
    	float: left;
    	background: #ccc;
    	position: relative;}
    	
    	#nav li ul{
    	display: none;
    	position: absolute;
    	top: 1em;
    	left: 0;
    	z-index: 100;
    	margin: 10px auto auto auto;}
    
    	#nav li ul{
    	width: 100px;
    	height: auto;
    	background: #ccc;}
    	
    	#nav li ul li{
    	display: block;
    	clear: both;
    	border-width: 0px;
    	width: 100px;}
    
    	#nav li ul li a{
    	width: 100%;
    	height: 100%;}
    
    	#nav li ul li a:hover{
    	color: black;}
    
    	#nav li ul li:hover{
    	background: #ddd;}
    
    	#nav li ul li.space:hover{
    	background: #ccc;}
    
    	.space{
    	height: 10px;}
    
    	.arrow{
    	width: 7px;	
    	height: 8px;
    	background: transparent url(images/arrow.gif) no-repeat;}
    
    	li>ul{
    	top: auto;
    	left: auto;}
    
    	#nav li:hover ul, #nav li.over ul{
    	display: block;}
    
    	#nav a{
    	height: 25px;
    	width: auto;}
    
    	#nav a:link, #nav a:active, #nav a:visited{ 
    	color: #000;} 
    
    	#nav a:hover{
    	color: #fff;}

    And, finally the html:
    Code:
    <div id="nav">
    <ul>
    <li><a href="#" title="Home">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" title="About Me">About Me</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" title="Portfolio" class="over">Portfolio</a>
    	<ul>
    	<li class="space"></li>
    	<li><a href="#" title="Portfolio / Photography">Photography</a></li>
    	<li><a href="#" title="Portfolio / Graphic Art">Graphic Art</a></li>
    	<li><a href="#" title="Portfolio / Poetry">Poetry</a></li>
    	</ul></li>
    <li><a href="#" title="Faith" class="over">Faith</a>
    	<ul>
    	<li class="space"></li>
    	<li title="Faith / Scriptures"><a href="#">Sciptures</a></li>
    	<li title="Faith / Rants"><a href="#">Rants</a></li>
    	</ul></li>
    <li><a href="#" title="Music">Music</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" title="Contact">Contact</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" title="Links">Links</a></li>
    </ul>
    </div>

    Seems to me it has nothing to do with the menu. I noticed the title above the menu changes place too. So i guess it has something to do with the values of the header or logo div's.
