Hi,

Given that you are using absolute positioning for #bottom_nav, I don't
quite get why your using display:inline in the CSS after it.  What happens
if you remove it from #bottom_nav?  As in,


#bottom_nav {
        text-align: right;
        position: absolute;
        right: 9px;
        bottom: 0px;

 /*       display: inline; */
        height: 196px;
        width: 535px;
      *width: 550px;

        background: url(/resources/5661/assets/images_community/footer.jpg)
no-repeat 0 0;
}
