Sorry no answer to the problem... But your services div has a margin

your CSS IE width hacks.
- Rollover colours on top nav could have more contrast - difficult to

Yes, there are slight differences in browsers, but these are easy to
overcome. There are a lot of un-needed classes in your code. The aim is to
use as few as possible, and use descendant selectors to do their work.
Theoretically, for this layout you should only need a few id's on the
