position search field with css for IE

I am using the silver light theme on my webpage and am trying to add the search bar to the same black bar as the nav menu. I got it working great in fire fox, but in IE the nave buttons and search bar aren’t right above the white area. The css that I am using for the search bar is:


#search{
float:right;
}

I think I am missing something in the CSS, but I can’t figure it out. Any help in getting this to look right would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.
