Hi, well, my CSS had a few glitches; mostly negative top/bottom padding
values which I changed to zero. The CSS is now clean, but no effect on the
right padding inconsistencies I mentioned above.

Interestingly enough, both Opera and Firefox render my bottom nav bar @ 100%
width, consistent - as desired -with my page content. However both Opera and
FF do bizarre things with the right-page margins and paddings which I won't
attempt to solve. I'm happy for now if I can get any consistency for IE on
the padding issue.

It's this very thing that makes me want to run back to the safety and
predictibility of table formatting.
