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.

Here is the link to the website I am talking about.
My problem is that when you navigate between the different pages in the main navigation, the main wrapper does not align on the different pages I have used. So if you are on the home page and you click on "WMH" in the main navigation bar the whole page jumps to the left by about 8px.
This creates a jitter between pages that my client really doesn't like. I used some padding-left and padding-right in css to align it correctly. Unfortunately when I get it pixel perfect in Firefox, it is wrong in Chrome and Safari. If I get it pixel perfect in chrome, it jitters in Firefox. This is very irritating. I don't want to have to write separate styles for Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari unless it really is the only solution.
Thanks for your feedback.

The browser scrollbar looks to be causing this. You can force a scrollbar to always appear which would solve the issue. Add this to your CSS:
html {overflow-y: scroll;}
You would also probably need to remove the padding that you tried to fix the problem with originally once the above style is in your CSS.
I have a webite where i position some events in a calendar with position relative. But the problem is that in Chrome the layout it pixel perfect, but in firefox and IE it does not work at all.
The events get positon about 10px wrong downwards. And my tooltip that also uses relative positoning gets stuck at its "orginial" position.
I have a live demo at: http://jonasolaussen.se/dev3/?page_id=6
You can see the black box positions different in Chrome and Firefox. And when you click on a tooltip it turns up at the date in Chrome but in the bottom left corner in Firefox.
I cannot understand why!?
Please! Help Me!
One way of doing this would be to use css hack so that you can style it dependant on the browser.
Here is a demo:
#media screen and (min--moz-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
.firefox {
background: red;
}
}

I know this is an old post and because of your lack of detail I can't be sure, but quite often the reason for this is that different browsers will render their box models differently when widths, padding, margins etc are not explicitly set. setting widths for the elements you wish to position around will usually solve this problem.
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.

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.
I'm having a cross-browser compatibility issue with Chrome vs FF.
Here is the web inspected from Chrome, you'll see that the box for the DIV #content is overlapping the box for the H3.
In FF, the #content DIV does not overlap:
The issue is the difference in overlap is causing the background behind the Doctors' heads (the light blue canvas texture) which is relatively positioned DIV to be off. In Chrome is positioned well, in FF the green "view all button" is beyond the background.

It looks to me as if they are both in the same place, just chrome is showing you the region differently in the inspector to FF. I don't think its an issue at all.
I have a feeling that if you fix some of your Validation Errors, the problem might fix itself. Of the ones listed, the immediate red-flags that I noticed were that you have a bunch of these errors:
Error: Duplicate ID
Check #wrapper, #mainBox, etc.
on line 72 of the css, i took out the
p{
margin-bottom:12px;
}
and it fixed the positioning of the green view all button. You will then have to reapply the margins more specifically to the elements you want them on
My site http://bit.ly/aokA4I has a search bar on the top right.
You can see it on IE7, FF, Chrome, Safari -- but not on IE8. It gets chopped off.
BTW if you happen to see it on IE8 just refresh the page and it will chop.
If I run IE8 on compatibility mode the search bar becomes visible.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks!!
It's because IE8 is interpreting the nature of its parent container: header_widget_1. The sizing or formatting of this element is causing the <li> element to be clipped prematurely. If you have Google Chrome, you can right click the sidebar element you're asking about and choose "Inspect Element". This will show you what the elements are doing.
Edit: You also have a sizable horizontal scrollbar in IE7.
Edit 2:
You might try altering the height of your #header element to be the height you want. Since height is not expressed in the sidebar class, this may also be contributing to the problem.
