I am having a bit of trouble here and thought some of you more knowledgeable folks could assist me?

Take a look at my site here: http://tackleboxofsavings.com/new_tbos/index.html#

My issues are:

1) Space between head and nav menu. It isn't there on my external preview page. I don't want that extra space.
2) Links in nav menu are not white in Firefox but they are white in my external page view. I want the nav links and the footer links to be white while the one link in the middle to the clients website to be blue.
3) Also, is it important that the site as a whole be centered? Or is it more of a preference thing? If it is better to be centered, can someone help me with the code to do this?

I would appreciate any help. I am not a CSS expert as you can tell lol.

Thanks.

Well, when I opened my site in IE it is different. Yikes. While the head and Nav work in IE as I want them too, the email sign up form in the lower right is not showing up where it should in IE but it does in Firefox.

I am sure the code I used is complicating things, so can anyone help so that the site looks the same in all browsers?

Thanks a bunch

Yeah I have been reading about resetting CSS. However when I apply the resets it jumbles my site all up. I don't understand since it says it would remove the default settings of the browser and allow what I already have written in CSS to be the same on all browsers. What it does it drastically alter the way the site is layed out and I can't figure out what to fix?

Oh well. thanks for the help.

Yes, every browser has different settings and it is best to reset those settings and work build on them from there. IE is getting better on becoming a standard browser. It used to give us all pains in places that you do not even want to look!

Another good place to look is http://www.positioniseverything.net/

Shows a lot of bugs in IE and how to fix them.
