Problem aligning the tops of the side navigation and the main content

Sent by Josue Martinez on 16 September 2005 18:06

I managed to align the side navigation and main content along a
horizontal line in Firefox. However, in IE6 Win the alignment is
broken.
I guess it's because the side navigation is closer to the top in
Firefox (and I don't know why). I should mention that I used more divs
than I thought I would need precisely so I could position everything
with pixel-precision. Feel free to also comment on the html markup.


Here's a link to the html file in question http://216.180.231.91/~jnmartin/


and here is the text in the style
sheet------------------------------------------------------
