I've been trying this as an excercise.  I'm new to web design, particularly
the use of css.  I'd appreciate any comments or help on my implementation of
html and css.
I used the original post as a guideline

I'm puzzled by:
the difference in font size between ie6 and moz9.6.
padding in the inner <divs>seems to be compounded in moz and opera
ie doesn't seem to recognize "heigth:100%;" in #sidebar but moz and opera do
is it possible to have the background color for the links span the width of
the #sidebar div and/or increase the vertical space without affecting font
size?
