I originally tried to get this page to work in internet explorer without any luck. I asked a friend, but it worked perfectly in firefox. I test it and it does work perfectly there.
The problem is some sort of cellpadding issue. The whole page is arranged via tables. The navbar is where I'm having trouble. I have nested tables with cellpadding="0", cellspacing="0", and border="0". The tables work fine in firefox, but there is a gap in internet explorer (screenshot here).

My original design called for no nested tables, but when I tried that, it required me to have all the code on a single line, which I can't get to work with other scripts.

So then, why does internet explorer not want to work with the code?
