Hi Janet,

Take a close look at the difference between IE and NN. Notice how the
scrollbar is visible, but disabled, in IE, and not visible at all in NN?
Notice how that gap is roughly the width of your scrollbar?

Now, you can fix this by putting in a background colour that is the same as
your top nav, but that turns your page blue.

The other fix I can suggest is a 4-pixel by several-thousand-pixel
babkground image, where the top 34 pixels are the same blue as your top nav.

Of course, the issue goes away if your page is longer than the vertical size
of your visible browser area, at which point such a bakground image becomes
redundant.
