Hey everyone, I'm really hoping someone can help me out.  I've been  
beating my head against the wall so long on this my head is starting  
to crack open...

I've got most of IE's goofiness worked out on this page:
http://www.ccpasco.org/home/home_02.php

but there are a few things I cant nail down.

I'm using standards mode (I think) by using the doctype:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>

(I'm not really trying to use valid xhtml at the moment, just trying  
to get IE to jump into standards mode.)


1) The nav menu:
I have an ugly pink background set to show me where the list items  
appear.  Even though I'm explicitly setting margin:0px; the list  
items still insist on displaying a gap between the items, which i am  
trying to avoid.

2) The vertical gray line separating the menu from the content:
The idea is this... Float the menu left & give it a specific width.   
Then set the left margin of the content area to the correct value to  
male its left edge line up with the menu's right edge.  Give both a  
solid border so that the borders overlap.  Then, regardless of which  
element one is higher, I get my vertical line.

Unfortunately I just can't get IE to put the border for the content  
area where I want it.  I set the margin and the text inside the  
element shifts position, but the left border continues to push as far  
over to the left as it can before hitting a float (the menu) or the  
edge of its containing element.

My CSS is found here:
http://www.ccpasco.org/default.css
with some IE specific definitions being in the page itself by means  
of a conditional comment.

I would really appreciate any help you guys can offer.  I figure it  
must be some IE bug but I can't seem to figure out which one or how  
to fix it.

Thanks so much,
Cliff
