[thelist] Mac CSS Format Problem

[Michael Kelley]

CodeBitch, I did try your suggestion and it lined the logo image up correctly, but the menu div is still in the same place. I never knew the DOCTYPE issues with IE5.  That is so strange. I'm going to test a couple of ideas regarding negative margin settings and just see if that will fix it.
