    I have had to add tabs to the top of a website I made. I have tried everything I can think of to get them to look right, and they do in Safari and IE7. But in Firefox and older versions of IE the tabs get a space underneath them, where they should meet the grey line.



    Preview the site here.



    Any ideas how to fix it?

    Background image is the problem.

    Add 1em for top padding, which fixed the problem.
    body {
    padding : 1em 0 0 0;
    }

    Don't forget to test it against IE7 and Safari browsers, which I think you'll probably will get different results.

    That shifts the entire page down, so in Safari and IE7 the entire layout out of position.

    That is expected. Are you familiar with browser quirks? Conditional comments?

    I have made a new stylesheet, and when used alone, the page looks right in Firefox, but not Safari.
    The only way I can think of making it look right across all 3 would be to have a conditional comment that links to a sheet for Safari, but as far as I know that's not possible.
