The reason I was off mathmatically is due to the #leftnav that sits in the left margin of #content. Used the Web Developer to straighten things up. > Your 50em overall width means at 800x600 a user with the browser default > default font size will have a horizontal scroll.

The only problem left that I can see is in #button that sits in #leftnav. There is a light blue border that divides the buttons. In Netscape this line disappears between 3 of the 10 buttons. The different shades of blue rollover does work within each button. Has anybody come up with this problem? The code is below.
