In the CSS.

The overall container is 960, navmenu is 958 and some thought process
involved,

#navmenu { width:958px; height:33px;
background:url(../images/menubar_bg.gif); border-left:1px solid #FFF;
border-right:1px solid #FFF; }

Change width to 960, remove the border-left -right. If you leave the
border in, it sticks out over the 960 container.

#navmenu { width:960px; height:33px;
background:url(../images/menubar_bg.gif); }

it can be not so simple at times. Selectors are a good example and
are very well worth learning,

>(e.g. fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents.

That's exactly what it's for and sadly not used enough.

This is really handy, it's the CSS for HTML 4, so you can see exactly
what is behind h1, p, ol , strong and so on.

You may also like to wander over to the newsgroup alt.html , read and
get a feel for things first.
