    Not without seeing the site! Do you have a URL?

    The problem here is that you're squeezing the heights of many of the containers wrapped around that links and then trying to push them open again using padding. The combination is simply impossible for a browser to represent as asked. Firefox allows the text to push its way out. IE is (amazingly) respecting your requests and displaying that portion of the text for which there's space - which unfortunately is none.

    I'd recommend clearing out all height, line-height and padding settings for #navSuppWrapper, #navSupp, #navSupp ul, #navSupp ul li and #navSupp ul li a (especially the line-height of just 0.3em for #navSupp ul), starting again with a clean slate, and being more selective about where you place them.

    OK...I did that and they are both the same now. What is the difference between #navSuppWrapper, #navSupp, #navSupp ul, #navSupp ul li and #navSupp ul li a
    and what does altering each of them affect?

    Thank you.

    Hmmm. Yes but your site is littered with other similar problems and falls apart completely in IE6.

    #navSuppWrapper and #navSupp divs are simply IDs for the outer and inner divs wrapped around the supplementary navigation menu. The UL and LI tags make up an unordered list that is styled into a horizontal menu. The As are the links that allow visitors to connect to other parts of your site. Is this what you were asking?

    Yes, I am going to try the clean slate thing with the other 2 areas (navmain & navcatstab). Thank you.

    Yes, I saw a rather small line-height lurking in there too

    The default styling in the classic template's stylesheet for these IDs might be worth looking at too as that's quite robust.
