Horizontal nice-menu body(node content) appending to the end of menu off page

Issue Summary

I have nice menu installed and it's an awesome module... gives me the horizontal drop down that i need and looks sexy... But i have an issue.. i currently have my primary links disabled and i have a horizontal nice-menu in the header block under zen. This looks fantastic in FF and functions as expected. but when i go to IE 7 (cringe) the BODY of the node underneath it... appends to the far right hand side of the nice-menu block.. the result is you can see the header menu just fine.. but the body of the node that should be underneath it ends up out to the right, off page.. its almost as if the nice menu was appending the body of the node as another button element.

initially i tried adjusting the css elements. caused more problems with IE 6 then i thought possible.. so i went back to this. I know this is just a hack but im under the gun, so i added two &ndsp at the end of the loops to append to the output that's returned.. was just a temp fix. it forced the body back down into the position that it should be in. under the menu. today i made a link change in the primary, re sized it again.. now the &ndsp hack is not working. (btw: also in that hack i added an if statement that checks for browser. so it would only fire for IE)

so here i am hoping someone else may have an answer for this.
