Odd CSS Problem -- Suggestions? - Page 2

I went through all of the pages listed there and was not able to recreate the padding issue you explained.

Other than that, things were fine. However your text could use some more contrast. It was a bit straining on the eye especially considering the minimal line height (increase it!) and the tiny font (11px no! Go for pt, em or % sized fonts. Especially helpful since IE can't resize px size fonts.)

Thanks for the suggestions! How do you feel about the dropdowns?

You should get rid of the yellow border. It doesn't fit with the coloring scheme at all. Not only that but you need to increase the padding being used as well as the font size.

I'm using a 1440x900 and I have to squint to read it. The contrast isn't enough since the font is basically white on a dark navy blue background.

The overall design is good, but you've got to work a lot of accessibility in regards to font colors, sizes, etc.

I don't know what you use for your site creation. But if you have bought Creative Suite 3, then Dreamweaver in that has a compatibility issue option where it will list problems and also links to a fix. Very nice feature that.
I find it very useful since I use a Mac to develop on which has no IE to preview. So with that feature you can know that they work on IE if you do the fixes suggested.
