    Vertical Submenu not working in IE

    I made a vertical spry menu bar with a few submenus. These submenus do not show on Internet Explorer, but show up in FF, Opera, and Netscape & (Safari-of course). Please let me know what I have to change for this to work! I have been trying all different kinds of things and cannot seem to get it working.

    The below is my code...
    Code:
    @charset "UTF-8";
    
    /* SpryMenuBarVertical.css - version 0.6 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1 */

    /* The outermost container of the Menu Bar, a fixed width box with no margin or padding */
    ul.MenuBarVertical
    {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 11px;
    cursor: default;
    width: 148px;
    font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    font-weight: bold;
    border: 1px none #666;
    }
    /* Set the active Menu Bar with this class, currently setting z-index to accomodate IE rendering bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html */
    ul.MenuBarActive
    {
    z-index: 1000;
    }
    /* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are same fixed width as parent */
    ul.MenuBarVertical li
    {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;

    position: relative;
    text-align: left;
    cursor: pointer;
    width: 148px;
    }
    /* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */
