Ellen,

I had a quick look at your code and have noticed that your "nav_wrapper" has 
lots of redundant "empty" links and so I suggest try something like this:

1) Your basic code for nav should look something like this:

<div id="my_menu">
   <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Tab 1.0</a></li>
      <li><a href="#" class="active">Tab 2.0</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Tab 3.0</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Tab 4.0</a></li>
   </ul>
</div>

2) your CSS should look something like this:

body {
    margin: 0;
    padding:0;
    background: white;
}
#my_menu {
   float:left;
   width:100%;
   background:#fff;
   border-bottom:4px solid #000;
   overflow:hidden;
   position:relative;
}
#my_menu ul {
   clear:left;
   float:left;
   list-style:none;
   margin:0;
   padding:0;
   position:relative;
   left:50%;
   text-align:center;
}
#my_menu ul li {
   display:block;
   float:left;
   list-style:none;
   margin:0;
   padding:0;
   position:relative;
   right:50%;
}
#my_menu ul li a {
   display:block;
   margin:0 0 0 1px;
   padding:3px 10px;
   background:#00CC00;
   color:#000;
   text-decoration:none;
   line-height:1.3em;
}
#my_menu ul li a:hover {
   background:#00CC00;
   color:#fff;
}
#my_menu ul li a.active,
#my_menu ul li a.active:hover {
   color:#fff;
   background:#00CC00;
   font-weight:bold;
}

3) Try the the above two on your test document to see if it works with you.  To 
link the css in your html use this:

<link href="menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

4) Please note that I have used ID for "my_menu" NOT class like you have done 
because there is only one my_menu on the page.  Class is not appropriate here 
IMHO.
