    Hello All!!

    I am working on my site in Firefox 3.0.9 (and a bit newer with CSS than probably many of you here) and it looks fair so far. However, I have a floating horizontal nav bar at the top that looks like is stepping down. Here is what I attempted so far:

    1) I have adjusted the margins, zeroed the padding and changed the width of the background image – all to no effect.

    2) I tried to create a IE7 folder and point the browser their with a different stylesheet – no effect.

    3) I tried to use IE7.js to solve the issue – no effect.

    IE is driving me batty! Any thoughts? Here is my CSS & HTML (no laughing ;-) )

    Also, here is the link: http://www.core4innovative.com (ignore the fonts – they are not rendering properly according to my stylesheet)

    Thanks!!!

    Code:
    /*—my css—*/

    #body {
    margin: 0px 0px 20px 0px;
    text-align: center;

    The first thing I did was adjusted the margins on the nav area. It did not work out for me. Any other thoughts?

    It looks like you have no handled this. Right? The nav looks good in IE7 and IE6.

    Instead of using this:

    Code:
    border-color:#fff;
    border-width:8px;
    border-type:solid;

    You could use this:

    Code:
    border:8px solid #FFF;

    Same with padding:

    Inefficient:

    Code:
    padding-top:1px;
    padding-right:1px;
    padding-bottom:1px;
    padding-left:1px;

    Efficient:

    Code:
    padding:1px;

    Or if you want to give a 5px padding on the right and a 1px padding everywhere else you would do this.

    Code:
    padding:1px 5px 1px 1px;

    You can also do the same with margin, just remember it goes in a clockwise pattern (top, right, bottom, left).

    Have fun.
