With giving the #bluenavBar container an imaginary {height: 1%;} it can be solved. See testpage 1 <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-swimdesign-tpublic1.htm>. Also in this testpage: with a {vertical-align: bottom;} for the header image, the IE gap between the header and the bluenavBar can be closed. Even although not indicated, IE thinks the image is on a paragraph line with text, and positions it at the height of the bottom of a letter with a tail (as an y).

Again a positioning error of IE, this time it can be solved with giving a { position: relative;} to the containing table. See testpage 2 <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-swimdesign-template1.htm>. Also in this testpage some adaptations to make it possible for FF and other bowsers to enlarge the browser font scale, without breaking this table. See source code. Now to serve also the "Products" you have to change the ID #tabnavbar in a class="tabnavbar"; an ID is an unique IDentification, allowed only once in 1 page. >the grey box >on the right is not flush with the margin - is it possible to get it over >there?
