you have a thread with the right URL and no information to go with it.
Next time, just reply to your OP in the one thread and provide the
correction there.
As for your problem, that the content text moves vertically below the
menu on the left in all but IE7, I can't reproduce that. In IE6, FF2,
and Safari 3.1.1 on Windows, the text is always to the right of the
menu, as I presume you want. So I don't see the problem.
Except, erm, for the aesthetic cruelty it does to me. ;-)

means the text beginning "Welcome to the CANDOER Web site". And he wants
the top of the nav links to line up with this. But it is not clear if he
really is prepared to accept the logo things taking up so much space up
top or whether he wants those flags and things to float off to the
right. All possibilities are easy enough but it needs to be made clear
what exactly is wanted before anyone spends time on it.

OP does not define quite what text he is referring to but perhaps he
means the text beginning "Welcome to the CANDOER Web site". And he wants

I received an e-mail direct from a John - he told me to add the line
display: inline
to my CSS so I was able to correct the problem of it not displaying the
menu and
the flags and globe along side it. Now the problem is that it should show a
flag,
CANDOER Retirement Group, and then the flag again with the rotating globe
below
that and then Communicators AND Others Enjoying Retirement below the globe.
It displays that way in IE and Netscape, but in others the menu is narrowed
so the
hover does not show "Go" and the display is off balance and not the same
as in
IE and Netscape.

It appears ok for me.
annoying flag "CANDOER Retirement Group" annoying flag
incessently whirling globe
"Communicat ors AND Others Enjoying Retirement"

and (2) my viewport is wide enough. Since the last "fix", the page
content resizes to match the viewport (which is a Good Thing).
Previously, everything just overflowed to the right when I narrowed the
browser. The flag-CRG-flag line now wraps below certain widths.

in all browsers ever since I looked at the OP's page, even before he
first "fixed" it. The menu has to be a certain minimum width for it to
appear, though.
Its function is to confuse visitors by looking like a submit-type
button, as if they need to move the mouse to click right *there*.

I know that MacIE had it so you could turn off looping, iCab too. In
Preferences (Mac equivalent to Options I suppose?), so it is part of the

"Play animations in Web pages."
Can't find anything of the kind in my WinSafari, though.
I just obtained Safari yesterday, and I like it, although it takes some
small bit of time getting used to the Apple way of doing things.
