The reason for the scroll bar is because you logo image is 1280 pixels
wide. Unless the viewport is wider than that, you get a scroll bar.
Also the horizontal menu is quite wide, about 900 pixels.
You must be viewing your site on a 1600x1200 monitor at fullscreen to
not need any scrolling. IE6 has a scroll bar when I view your site.
Decide on which DTD to use. You have mashed HTML and XHTML together both
in the doctype and the code. For the most consistent results across
browsers, use HTML 4.01 Strict. Drop the <?xml ...> altogether.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Validate your code: <http://validator.w3.org/>
The top header is not a masthead. You should use (and style) <h1> for a
page's primary header.
What padding? Each browser has its own defaults for the various HTML
elements. All margins and paddings are mutable; use CSS to specify what
you want.
