Hi Big John Thanks for the tip. It worked on the upper right. I have two more problems with Opera that I haven't figured out. In the body of some pages, I have a tertiary set of nav buttons that are stacking. the ul is floated right and the list items inside it are floated left. I tried to set a width of 500px but then the list items moved to the left of the page and I'd rather they stuck to the right side of the page. I hope this makes sense, I want white space to the left, not the right when the number of choices are small.
Is there a simple fix?

No, the problem is a bug in Opera that has been fixed in the latest version. The trouble is that you have a no-width defined absolute container, and two floats inside. Like most modern browsers, Opera "shrink-wraps" AP boxes to the width of the content, and in this case that content is two floats in sequence. The floats should sit side by side and so determine the width of the AP container. Unfortunately earlier Operas overdo the shrink-wrapping, forcing the floats to be vertical, I guess to get that AP box as narrow as possible. If it were a floated widthless paragraph, the AP box would only be as wide as the widest word in the paragraph! The remedy is to define a width on that AP container, about 200px, If IE/win has trouble it will be due to the 3px bug, which could be accomodated by adding 3px more to the width.
