In your stylesheet, in the rule: "ul#mainnav li a:link, ul#mainnav li
a:visited {" change the percent value in the padding property from "6%" to
"5px".

Padding the width with percentages is confusing IE, especially since you
are using a table layout. I recommend dumping the table since you will
always be dealing with silly quirks like these if you don't.

> Thanks in Advance

No probalo.
