Hi Jennifer

For IE7, you already have a the IE7 re-calculated offset bug and your are 
halfway there to a sticky hover bug. Have you tested in IE7 yet and noticed 
that nothing happens? See this page for an explanation.

You can use a percentage or use a bug fix (see the main article). I believe 
that the menu contains to many items to function properly. The beauty of the 
sons of suckerfish menus is that the text can be resized. I have added another 
demo to my site showing a menu with fixed width top menu items.

http://css-class.com/articles/ursidae/bears5fixedwidth.htm

To have the top level li's evenly spaced, you need to change your 10ems to 
pixels since you want a fixed width page, but check with text resizing. I do 
recommend browsing around for many good examples of these types of CSS menus 
and do many test across browserland. Would I use one myself? most likely not. 
:-)

BTW, those ids are just adding unnecessary markup to the code, unless they are 
used as page markers.

Kind Regards, Alan
