I've been working on our site using a WordPress theme that I've tweaked a bit, and noticed that the drop-down nav in Safari for :hover is displaying too low and pushing down other content on the page. Seems to be related to padding, but I can't figure it out.
I saw other posts on this sort of thing, but nothing quite like my scenario. Ideas?

Thank you!
I think margin of span element doesn't work on safari.
So if you add the margin top to span element on safari, please change display: block into display: inline-block.

I am pretty good with css, but can't figure out why my menu is being destroyed by IE7. Looks perfect in all other browsers I tested. First image link is correct. Second image link is how it looks in IE7.

Here is the page: http://www.asingularcreation.com/calls-to-artists.php. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You do not need to float (or clear) the menu container. It looks like it is causing IE7 to calculate the width incorrectly which forces the menu to flow down, underneath the sub-menu.
<div style="height:40px; line-height:40px; float:left; clear:both"><!--Main Menu --></div>
Removing the float and clear properties fixes the display in IE7 and also still works in Chrome and IE8 and IE9.
There is a lot of inline styles in the example page so I would also look at moving the CSS into an external file if possible.
My menu looks great in firefox and chrome. But IE. It dissapears. Anybody can help me ?

Here's my guess as to what's happening. Could be totally wrong.
The dropdown is supposed to disappear when the user mouses out of the link or the dropdown itself. But the problem is, there's a gap of a few pixels in between the link and the dropdown; this shows up in all browsers; I had trouble with it in Chrome before I even opened IE.
But when I did open it in IE, I saw that the links were even further away from the dropdown menus, so the problem was exacerbated.
If you go back to the CSS and make sure that there's no gap in between the link and the dropdown menu, does that fix the problem?
Edit to actually answer the question
There are a few CSS changes you could quickly make to fix the problem:
Get rid of the height style on #mNav
Add a <div> with the style clear: both to #topNav, after the <ul>
Give each ul li a style of height:25px
It's not pretty, but I think that solves it.
I've been asked to fix a menu in a RTL site. The elements of the top menu have RTL, text-align: right, and float right in the CSS, but the sub menu keeps aligning to the left in Chrome and Safari. I've tried negative left margins but it makes everything look even worse.

Is there anything else I can try?
It appears fine on chrome(pc, latest ver). But in safari the menu seems to be aligned left. But the sub items are fine.
The problem is that you have asssigned position:absolute to #access .menu-header .sub-menu in your css, this results in ignoring of the float property by safari, adding a style="position:relative" for each
<ul class="sub-menu">
should solve your trouble.
BTW, your page has many errors in html markup : I strongly suggest you fix it.
http://validator.w3.org/ should provide necessary help for that.
I also suggest that you try firebug (now also available for browsers other than ff) it's a lifesaver!
I have a couple dropdown menus that are giving me issues in IE7. I've wasted the entire morning trying to fix it. The client is monitoring the site using IE7 so it's a top priority.
I've got a live demo and a jsfiddle demo set up. Here is the actual site I'm working on today as well just for reference, but the demos have the problems isolated. I left some of the reset css and such in case any of it is related.
There are 2 problems:
Most Important: There are z-index issues with the top menu and the header content in IE7. The headings are above the dropdown.
Less Important: There is a small gap in the top menu between the first link and the dropdown that sometimes causes the dropdown to disappear when moving the mouse to it from the top link. This occurs in at least Firefox 4 and IE 7. This issue doesn't occur in the bottom menu.
I removed javascript, tried removing any clearfix css, whittled down the css and html, switched from html5 to xhtml1 strict, played with the position and z-index properties, and read several articles here and elsewhere about z-index bugs in IE but I still can't get this one to budge.
I don't care about IE6 support or if I have to use javascript, I just need to get it working in IE7 for the client. Any help is greatly appreciated.
To #header and #nav add:
position:relative;
and
z-index:10 //for #nav
z-index:0 //for #header
I'm having an issue with my navigation, the first list item appears to have a huge gap on the right.
I have a list of links inside an UL each have their own class so I could set a background icon to them. The first link has a background to give it the rounded effect.
I used relative to push to left so it would have that rounded effect for the hover and active states on the homepage and hover for when i'm on other pages.
Now it all works fine in new browsers apart from IE7 and probably older versions.
I've put it on JSFiddle to make it easier to view.

Thanks
Live Demo (edit)
I got rid of <div id="navHold">.
I removed right: 40px from #topNav2 .home-icon.
I changed the width of #Navigation-Holder from 750px to 830px to make it appear the same width it was before I changed anything.
I've tested that this looks consistent in: IE7, IE8, Firefox, Chrome.
