I changed the CSS style sheet and the XHTML on 149 pages. It looked fine in
MSIE (famous last words) but now it doesn't work in FireFox. Why didn't the
"clear: all;" work in the breadcrumb?

A separate problem is the background of the hidden skip link. If I leave it
gray, then there is an extra gray rectangle to the right of the nav bar in
MSIE. If I make it white as I did trying to fix that, now the leftmost
button of the nav bar in FireFox has a white rectangle bitten out of it.

Two separate problems: getting the bread crumb trail to start at the left
margin and getting the nav bar buttons to look right in MSIE and in FireFox.

Sadly, the browser which still has largest use is not the one that best
interprets valid CSS. Arf.

www.TheBicyclingGuitarist.net/ranchero/ or any of the other 149 pages that
have the nav bar at top.

It should be "clear: both;"

oops. My bad. Hey, I did fix the hidden link problem by making margin and
padding both equal to 0 all by myself! I wouldn't know as much as I do
without the help of this group though. Thank you all.
