Re: CRUCIAL: Menu Bar Bug in Internet Explorer

There was actually three problems in this one problem,
there was #1 Some Error that occured in IE that I described above that I fixed.
#2 There was the expanding box problem, that I fixed.

But now there is still one more problem, if someone could help with it, that would be great, in IE 6 and earlier, whenever I go over a menu item, a space opens up between the menu item I am rolling over and the one below it, this is only when rolling over it. My CSS code is below. Thank you, viewing my website on IE 6 platinumprostudies.com will probably help.
