That fixed it, I don't fully understand why, but I really appreciate the 
solution!  I did notice that only Safari does not show the on:hover pink 
underline in the top nav only.  It works on the bottom navigation, so I am 
guessing it still has something to do with the positioning.

Thanks again,
Jennifer

Same as Gecko (Firefox etc.) and IE.

Check where the element is in Opera and Safari _without_ the negative
margin. What you'll see is the difference in how Opera and Safari on on
side and Firefox and IE on the other side _line up floats_ that comes
after non-floating elements.

To get the same line-up in all browsers, make the nave-styling even out
those float-handling differences. In your case this will work...

#nav {
    float:right;
    position:relative;
    margin-top:-35px;
    width: 100%;
    text-align: right;
    }

regards
    Georg
