Hey everyone. If you view this page http://kmkwebdevelopment.com/dovefarms/about.html in firefox it looks like it should. If you view it in IE, it is messed up. Anyone know why (I assume my css has an error somewhere). I attached my css.

Thanks,
Kris.

Throwout all positional properties, basically start again with the css.

Thanks for the reply Fang. However, I'm not sure what you mean. If I was to do the css again, I would do it the same way. It's just the top nav pages that don't quite work in IE (the side nav pages work fine). Is there something I could change to remedy the issue?

Thanks for taking the time to show me a re-design Fang (much appreciated). I am going to get going on it right away. An amateur like me has learned a lot from you in this forum. I think I speak for amateurs everywhere when I say, thanks for helping us amateurs out!! That's how we get better.

Cheers,
Kris.
