Not exactly sure what the problem is - can you be more specific?

Re: Missing section of border on website?

This is a template that has been heavily modified in a slightly dubious manner, I am afraid.

The problem is that that menu is 100% wide and is not enclosed by any element(well it is enclosed by #mainWrapper but that hasn't bee styled to a width). Weirdly, it is position absolute so it is not in the page flow. That is why it appears at the bottom of the source code but half way down the rendered page.

You need to start with this stylesheet rule:

#dropMenuWrapper {
	width:100%;
	 /* remove background:#929292; for narrow header*/
	margin:0 auto;
	height:2.18em;
	position:absolute;
	top:0;
	left:0;
	}

But you also need to arrange the code so that the #dropDownmenu is inside the element with the border probably. It looks like that element is #centerColumnWrapperb .

To be honest I would consider a bit of a re-think about how the page is constructed. It is quite a long way away from the Zen standard and that is going to cause difficulties as you are discovering....

Re: Missing section of border on website?

I don't know if this has any bearing on your problem, but when I look at your site using IE8 I get the warning symbol in the bottom left corner. When I clicked on that, IE's issue is

Re: Missing section of border on website?

Thanks for the feedback. I unfortunataly had this site built by a company who didnt really know what they were doing. Now I am stuck trying to fix everything.

Re: Missing section of border on website?

FWIW, I thought you had done that intentionally to draw attention to the dropdown options. Looks OK to me.
