style each item separately.  or use only words with the same amount of 
letters ;)

(don't forget to test what it looks like if someone increases the font 
size in their browser.)

the items are actually overlapping, maybe because you set both li and a 
to the same width but gave a a 5px padding.  if you increase the width 
of li or move padding from a to li, it solves that problem.  doesn't 
make sense but there you go.

without delving too much into your code... maybe the words are too long 
and a pushes out past the li boundaries.

the width setting of your subitems doesn't actually have to be the same 
as the parent.  i had to accommodate some really long words recently but 
this was in a left hand fly-out-to-right navigation, it didn't destroy 
the aesthetics of the whole thing.

for IE you need the csshover.htc file

i don't think transparency works at all in IE.  it sure doesn't work in IE5.

not sure if any of this helps.
