Modern Bricks Menu

Author: Dynamic Drive

This is a modern looking, imageless horizontal menu. The selected menu item merges with the band below it to help it stand out even more. As mentioned, the menu uses no images, making customization a breeze.

Demo:

The CSS:

<style type="text/css">

#modernbricksmenu{
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
background: transparent;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family: inherit;
}

#modernbricksmenu ul{
font: bold 11px Arial;
margin:0;
margin-left: 40px; /*margin between first menu item and left browser edge*/
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}

#modernbricksmenu li{
display: inline;
margin: 0 2px 0 0;
padding: 0;
text-transform:uppercase;
}

#modernbricksmenu a{
float: left;
display: block;
color: white;
margin: 0 1px 0 0; /*Margin between each menu item*/
padding: 5px 10px;
text-decoration: none;
letter-spacing: 1px;
background-color: black; /*Default menu color*/
border-bottom: 1px solid white;
}

#modernbricksmenu a:hover{
background-color: gray; /*Menu hover bgcolor*/
}

#modernbricksmenu #current a{ /*currently selected tab*/
background-color: #D25A0B; /*Brown color theme*/ 
border-color: #D25A0B; /*Brown color theme*/ 
}

#modernbricksmenuline{
clear: both;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 5px;
line-height: 5px;
background: #D25A0B; /*Brown color theme*/ 
}

#myform{ /*CSS for sample search box. Remove if desired */
float: right;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

#myform .textinput{
width: 190px;
border: 1px solid gray;
}

#myform .submit{
font: bold 11px Verdana;
height: 22px;
background-color: lightyellow;
}

</style>

<div id="modernbricksmenu">
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 1px"><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com" title="Home">Home</a></li>

Is there any way to get the menuline and the tabs to not have a big gap in IE? I use Firefox, and it looks perfect in Firefox and Opera, but I would like my site visitors using IE to see it the way it is supposed to look.
