file. Has anyone had this sort of issue before? If there a solution

I use a very simple rule that will allow for CSS validation...

Nothing's wrong with putting your nav at the bottom of your source.

You can use a filter to show a style sheet only to ie5, it's pretty simple
and you only have to declare a few margins and paddings.
