A helpful way to debug this would be to put a distinct border around the
#contentwrapper and #header divs to show their boundaries. While looking at
the developer tools in IE9 (which happens to include an IE7 emulator) I
noticed that the #header div has a specified height of 10px, and this is, in
fact, causing your issue. The #contentwrapper div is starting where the 10px
header ends. Remove the 10px definition on the #header div,then there will
be some more to play with in regards to positioning the #nav div
specifically for IE6/7

I hope this helps,
Alex
