Question

.work .nav {
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0 0 5px 5px;
    padding: 0;
    position:absolute;
    top:248px;
    left:15px;
    z-index: 2;
}
.work .nav:after {
    content: ".";
    display: block;
    height: 0;
    clear: both;
    visibility: hidden;
}
.work .nav li {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 5px;
}
.work .nav li a {
    float: left;
    display: block;
    padding-top: 10px;
    width: 10px;
    height: 0;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    overflow: hidden;
}
.work .nav li a:hover {
    background: #bbb;
}
.work .nav li a.on {
    background: #ccc;
}

This is how it looks in Firefox and Internet Explorer. it looks perfect in Firefox but in IE it is messing up.

How can i fix this problem?

Thank you all.

A possible fix (works for me in IE8 and Firefox 3) is to remove the padding-top and change it to height:10px, then make the text colour the same as the background, e.g.:

.work .nav li a {
    float: left;
    display: block;
    width: 10px;
    height: 10px;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    color:#fff;
    overflow: hidden;
}

.work .nav li a:hover {
    background: #bbb;
    color:#bbb;
}
.work .nav li a.on {
    background: #ccc;
    color:#ccc;
}

(edit: for the HTML I used:

<div class="work">
<ul class="nav">
 <li><a href="">1</a></li>
 <li><a href="">2</a></li>
 <li><a href="">3</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
