Not trying to "blow you out of the water" but I'd seriously consider 
starting over with a clean sheet.

Make a big box and put smaller boxes in it. Put stuff in the boxes. Find 
a menu that is known to work cross-browser: put it in a box. Validate 
the markup and CSS frequently. Test it cross-browser frequently. Avoid 
using inline styling within the markup. Avoid drawing a horizontal 
scrollbar.

If you are up for it, maybe this will help get it started.

Quick checked in FF, Safari, Opera, IE/8 (and IE 6/7).

This mar or may not the most elegant fix but it works. And it validates. It
turns out there is a bug in ie8 which you can read about here

http://www.inventpartners.com/content/ie8_margin_top_bug

My solution was to add a clear div before the div I needed to position via
margin-top

Line 204 
    <div style="clear: both;"></div>

If anyone has a better solution I would love to hear it. Also if anyone has
tips to improve the code I am using I would love to hear the best practice.
