How to position spry menu bar?

How can I decide where a spry horizontal bar should appear? E.g.: If I create
a horizontal Spry menu within a table, it seems to me that it is automatically
positioned a little bit under the top of the table, but I would like the menu
to appear at the top of the table...

Somebody who know how to solve this (probably) easy problem?

HTML code

<table width="900" border="0" bgcolor="#EEEEEE">
<tr >
<th width="200">&nbsp;</th>
<th width="500" bordercolor="#006600">
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Item 1</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Item 1.1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 1.2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 1.3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Item 3</a>
<ul>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Item 3.1</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Item 3.1.1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 3.1.2</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item 3.2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 3.3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item 4</a></li>
</ul> </th>
</tr>
</table>
