I think in IE you need to specify a width for your menu items or they
go to 100% automatically. (more accurately, I believe IE uses 100%
width by default for all block level elements)

You appear to have some other problems with the background color and
etc. Attached is a quick mock-up I've made demonstrating working
menus. I can't remember the technique to center the text at the moment
(one of those things that was made more difficult by CSS imho) but its
well documented on the web.

By the way, it's my personal opinion that using px for font size is
not ideal. IE won't honor the user's font-size settings if the web
page author specified the size in px. If you use points, em or % then
IE will allow the user to see the fonts at their preferred size.
(you've set the menu font size to 13px)
