internet explorer语言 - CSS下拉菜单在FF和IE9中很好，但在早期的IE版本中下降到右边

这个问题似乎已经被问过了，有几个不同的答案，似乎没有一个适合我。

我有一个css下拉菜单，在FF, Chrome和IE9中工作得很好，但在IE的早期版本中，菜单出现在顶层的右侧，因此在菜单上的下一个项目。左图为FF，右图为IE8。

显然我不允许张贴图片，所以你必须用图片。

CSS是:

#newmenu, #newmenu ul 
{ 
list-style: none; 
margin: 0; 
padding: 0 
}
#newmenu li 
{ 
float: left;
position: relative; 
white-space: nowrap 
}
#newmenu li a 
{ 
display: block; 
padding: 5px 20px; 
text-decoration: none; 
color: #13a 
}
#newmenu ul 
{ 
background: #fff; 
display: none; 
float: left;
position: absolute
}
#newmenu ul li 
{ 
background: #1c2659; 
float: none 
}
#newmenu ul ul 
{ 
top: -1px; 
left: 100%
}
#newmenu li.has_child 
{ 
background-image: url('img/down.gif'); 
background-position: right center; 
background-repeat: no-repeat; 
padding-right: 10px 
}
#newmenu li.hover  
{ 
background-color: #2b397b 
}}

HTML:

                <ul id="newmenu" class="clear">

                <li><a href='index.html'><span class="menuText"><strong>Home</strong></span></a></li>
