The grid is irregular because the images are not the same height. If you make the images the same height then the irregular stuff should go away. To fix the nav and thumbnail_grid you can do the following..... But first a word of disclaimer. I have learned css by doing tutorials and hacking around until stuff works. So, my background is not exhaustive. I am looking forward to other answers to this question. However, to just get the darn thing working so you can move on with your life you have a few options. Basically, as far as I know, the problem is you declare the width to be 100% If you give the width a value less than 100% it will work. You can either work with px or % If you choose px, then you should create a wrapper div that surrounds both the nav and the grig. Give this wrapper a width equal to the total width you want to use. Then give the grid a width = wrapper - nav. If you choose %, convert the 200px of the nav div to 20% or 25% or ??%, then make the grid 80% or 75%, etc. There is a possible issue with margin, padding, width combining differently in different browsers. So you might have to leave wiggle room in the widths. Hopefully someone with a broader background will clue us both in on this issue. But, in the mean time get your width down and things will work better.
