moz - list based menu problem

The pages validate okay for CSS, HTML.

In IE the menu bar continues either side of the items at the same height to
the edges of the screen, as was wanted, but when I view it in Moz 1.4 or
Firebird, the grey menu bar shrinks to a line's height instead of remaining
the same height as the menu items either side of the selectable menu items.

The header Find-A-Part History should be on a new line (in IE that does
happen), but not in Moz

Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong, or need correcting/hacking ?

page: www.find-a-part.com/about_us.asp
css: www.find-a-part.com/general.css

Anb help would be appreciated

From a quick glance, it looks like the float is the culprit. Why did
you float the a:link left when the LI elements are already inline? I
can't see any advantage to it.

That is the float. Lose the float, or if you can't, add a clear
property to div#thissubpage

As regards why I have done any of this code, I dunno - I'm trying to learn
CSS on the fly whilst doing a frankenstein with the code, a little bit from
here... a little bit from there...

#paddingarea h2
{
Clear : left
}

sorted it out

this relates to the heading that follows on from the submenu

thanks to brian for spurring me into continued investigations
