[css-d] Drop Down Menu Issue with IE8

[csslist]

Been looking for a while now and can't seem to find a css solution for my
problem.  I have a drop down menu that I created from a book on css that I
purchased and it works fine in all modern browsers except IE 8.  I wanted
to stay away from js if I could.  Appreciate any help you can give me.
Here is the css:
/* Drop Down Menu */
ul.nav, ul.nav ul {
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
  list-style-type:none;
  float:left;
  background:#adcaf0;}

ul.nav li {
  float:left;
  width:170px;
  background-color:#adcaf0;
  }

ul.nav li ul {
  width:170px;
  position:absolute;
  left:-999px;
  }

.nav li:hover ul {
  left:auto;
  }

ul.nav a {
  display:block;
  color:#fff;
  font-weight:bolder;
  text-decoration:none;
  padding:4.8px 16px;
  border-right:1px solid #394a59;
  border-left:1px solid #dfe5e6;
  }

ul.nav li li a {
  border-top:1px solid #dfe5e6;
  border-bottom:1px solid #394a59;
  border-left:0px;
  border-right:0px;
  }

/* Remove Unwanted Borders on the End of List Items */
ul.nav li:last-child a {
  border-right:0px;
  border-bottom:0px;
  }

ul a:hover,
ul a:focus {
  color:#fff;
  font-weight:bolder;
  background-color:#c5d7ed;
  }

Have a link to a working example? Would be easier to trouble shoot.

Sorry guys, forgot to post back after I figured it out.  It was something
stupid. I somehow removed the html tag after the doctype declaration. 
Replaced that and everything looks as it should.

   That shouldn't make any difference; the HTML tag is optional.

That's what I thought also however when I stripped all the css one by one
and determined that it wasn't the issue I checked the html and found that
when I placed the  back above the  tag IE 8 seemed to show the
sub menus and so far there doesn't seem to be any other issues. Knock
wood.
