The menus at the top aren't aligned properly in firefox compared to internet explorer.

It looks like if you subtract 1 from the left margin on each link, it's lined up right in firefox, but not in internet explorer.

<div id="main_submenu" onmouseover="clearTimeout(tout);" style="left: 582px; top: 120px; display: block;">

This looks fine in internet explorer, but isn't aligned completely right in firefox

<div id="main_submenu" onmouseover="clearTimeout(tout);" style="left: 581px; top: 120px; display: block;">

fine in FF, not in IE.

Instead of using javascript to create the dropdowns, why not use a list powered by CSS?

here's a link for an example (from smasingmagazine.com) - http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/example/
Follow the link here for a tutorial: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/horizdropdowns

This might fix the problem with the dropdowns not being aligned up right, and eliminate the extra javascript code which is ran.

Please let us know what operating system and version of each browser you are using. Also, if you are using any custom extensions or non-standard font settings. If you can provide screenshots that'd be great too as we are unable to replicate this. The menus are aligned in both IE6, IE7, FF and Opera for us on WinXP and Vista. Since we cant replicate what you're seeing it makes it hard for us to diagnose :)
