I took out some things that didn't seem needed, changed the li to display: 
inline, and gave a line-height of 50px to the #menu anchors. I made a bunch 
of little changes, so I'm just including the CSS below. It seems to work in 
Firefox and IE6, 7, & 8.

html, body, ul      { margin: 0px; padding: 0px }
body  { color: black;
font-size: medium;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular;
background-image: url(graytile.gif);
margin: 0px auto;
text-align: center;
}

#container   {
background-color: white;
text-align: left;
margin: 0px auto;
width: 800px;
height: 100%;
}

p {}
h1 { font-weight: bold; font-size: larger; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, 
Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular }
td {}
a:link { color: black }
a:hover { }

#header {
height: 150px;
}

#navigation   { font-size: 75%; float: left; margin: 10px 0px 0px 5px; 
padding: 0px; width: 250px }
#photos   { float: right; width: 450px }
#content { float: left; width: 800px }
#footer { }


#menu   {
background-color: black;
margin: 0px auto;
height: 50px;
}

#menu ul  {
text-align: center;
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0px;
}

#menu li  {
display: inline;
}

#menu a  {
color: white;
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: medium;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
padding: 0px 20px;
line-height: 50px;
}
