Hi Joan,

    You get all kinds of problem when you're changing font-size on hover 
but the problem lay in basic.css, you had a padding-top of 4px on all 
<li>s. This css works for FF, not sure about IE but i can't see that it 
would be any different:

ul#nav li {
        float: left;
        height: 27px;
        background-color: #AADFE0;
        margin: 1px 1px 0 1px;  /* this controls the space between tabs */
        border: 1px solid #59C0C3;
        border-bottom: 0;
        padding: 0; /* reset the padding */
        }

ul#nav a:link, ul#nav a:visited {
        display: block;
        color: #BE32FE;
        background-color: transparent;
        text-decoration: none;
        padding: 4px 15px;
        height: 19px; /* fix the height to avoid it spilling downwards */
}

    Hope that solves the problem.
