I have never done this before, but I did a lot of reading about coding in CSS and put it together. I bug checked it in W3C and everything came back clean, except a couple elements I’d added to play around with later. It’s only one piece (the main nav) that’s giving me issues. I do have padding on it, but I also have padding on the body section, so I have no idea why one looks ok and the other doesn’t.

atlantatalentum.com is the site, I think you can view source and get the html. Here’s my css, i’m aware the scrollbars don’t work, the rest checked clean. What am I doing wrong?

ShadowFax - I looked at your site in both IE and in FF.  I can see the problem.  Having looked at your HTML code the first thing that occurred to me was that perhaps it was more complicated than really necessary for the end effect that you appear to want.  But perhaps I am wrong there.

In any case, your first step should be to get developer toolbars for both IE and FF.  Start off with the
.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), use the option to outline block level elements and show element id/class information.  Use these features to confirm that the effect as rendered is the one you wanted.  Even if you are you might find that there is an easier way to deliver it.

With this done use the IE toolbar to do the same thing.  It is not nearly as good as FF but even so it should help you identify the problem more accurately.

If you don’t test your pages using different screen resolutions, your page may be stretched to fit a large screen, or be cropped to fit a small screen.
