The bottom border on the tabs in my header seems to go away.

Do you know what is with the dissapearing act?
Thanks..

Why is the gray banner-area that has the letter "LAASP" hyperlinked? That whole surface area causes the pointer-tool to hand to 'hand'... perhaps as a 'hyperlink' you are losing the expected 'border-bottom' of tabs??
I find the 'background' being an anchor a bit confusing... possibly there is an un-closed anchor tag in there somewhere..(??) :)

edit:
nope, -no un-closed anchor. What you have, is 'correct', but I say again, I find it ...confusing. :o

#outerleft{
margin: 24px 50px 0 50px;
padding: 0 0 0 8px;
color: #000;
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url(images/sdwl.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: top left;
}

#outerright{
padding: 0 8px 0 0;
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
background-image: url(images/sdwr.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: top right;
margin: 0;
}
As near as I can tell, you are using a mirror-image 'shadow' *gif for each "#outerleft" and "#outerright", yes? Is there supposed to be anything for the 'bottom' of either of these DIVs? Both of these DIV occupy almost exactly the same space (with about an 8-pixel disparity between them, presumeably to create room to display the 'drop-shadow' image on either side, one to each).
Both of these DIVs have "zero" padding on BOTTOM... I'd start there. Add a default padding-bottom to one or the other (or most safely, both), and see if this does anything. I suspect that you need a padding-bottom on these, and since you are using an IMG for the drop-shadow effect, better strip it's padding/margin/border too img {padding:0; margin:0; border:0;}.
I tried doing this offline but cannot quite figure out the absolute-path to your *js and stuff, and get error messages to shut off and it becomes time-consuming.
