navmenu, CSS based, with CSS-only tooltips: works, mostly, but got

I got about 11 tiny websites, and in order to link them, I
cobbed-together a simple CSS-only side nav menu, with (css-only
activated) "tooltips" attached (so far only the top two links have the
tooltips). this is a 'single layer' 11-celled left menu; no 'nested
items' or sub-folders involved....

problem IS: when I made the tooltip "spans inside the li's", I must'a
did something wrong, because somewhere in the code (or in the CSS,
maybe?) something is generating "extra blank table cells" in the left
nav menu (and those cells *aren't* in the code). to top it off, the page
validates perfectly, AND the CSS validates 100% good as well...

I'd sure be grateful to anyone who can tell me which tag I misplaced (or
whatever else I may've done incorrectly). pls take a look; the page is at

http://machines.50webs.com/navMenuMess/badnav.html

and the entire CSS is linked to the page above, on a second linked page,
for your viewing pleasure :-)

thanks,

Don't multi post!

This page DOES NOT validate for HTML

OR CSS

Fix those problems first!
