Pullout Menu Help

[Doom87]

Hello i made a pullout menu for my site's navigation. The problem i've encountered is where there is a pullout section there is a gap between the next one.

Here's what i mean... http://www.ootaclan.org/test/navigation/test.html

Between item 3 & 4 theres a noticable gap. I'm not sure how to fix it.

Here's the code from the style sheet:

.menu {
z-index:1000;
font-size:90%;
margin:25px 0 50px 15px; /* this page only */
}

/* remove all the bullets, borders and padding from the default list styling */
.menu ul {
padding:0;
margin:0;
list-style-type:none;
width:150px;
}
/* hack for IE5.5 */
* html .menu ul {margin-left:-16px; ma\rgin-left:0;}
/* position relative so that you can position the sub levels */
.menu li {
position:relative;
background:#d4d8bd;
height:26px;
}

/* get rid of the table */
.menu table {position:absolute; border-collapse:collapse; top:0; left:0; z-index:100; font-size:1em;}

/* style the links */
.menu a, .menu a:visited {
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
height:25px;
line-height:25px;
width:149px;
color:#000;
text-indent:5px;
border:1px solid #fff;
border-width:0 1px 1px 0;
}
/* hack for IE5.5 */
* html .menu a, * html .menu a:visited {background:#d4d8bd; width:150px; w\idth:149px;}
/* style the link hover */
* html .menu a:hover {color:#fff; background:#949e7c;}

.menu :hover > a {
color:#fff;
background:#949e7c;
}

/* hide the sub levels and give them a positon absolute so that they take up no room */
.menu ul ul {
visibility:hidden;
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:150px;
}
/* make the second level visible when hover on first level list OR link */
.menu ul li:hover ul,
.menu ul a:hover ul {
visibility:visible;
}

/* keep the third level hidden when you hover on first level list OR link */
.menu ul :hover ul ul{
visibility:hidden;
}
/* keep the fourth level hidden when you hover on second level list OR link */
.menu ul :hover ul :hover ul ul{
visibility:hidden;
}
/* make the third level visible when you hover over second level list OR link */
.menu ul :hover ul :hover ul{
visibility:visible;
}
/* make the fourth level visible when you hover over third level list OR link */
.menu ul :hover ul :hover ul :hover ul {
visibility:visible;
}
</style>
<!--[if IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
.menu li {float:left;}

In what browser are you having a problem with it?
Looks fine in FF for me.

You seem to be commenting out a lot of stuff for IE...

...Don't?

ya in IE 7 theres a gap. just tested it in firefox myself and it worked out fine. What should i un-comment so it can work in both browsers?

The style sheet was pre-made so i don't really know how to make it work for both browsers.

Learn how to use CSS. Do not just take code. Know what you are doing.

Alter your css to this.

Remove the red comments before you copy it.
