some help please...

Ok, I got this site and I like how I got it set up but the problem is in
FireFox the menu bar is longer then it should be. I want it all to align the
same but no matter what I do the menu bar will not align, even if I do
manage to get it the same the bit where there's the new updates then
shrinks.

The url is http://www.amydumasfansite.net - if you want to see how it's
supposed to look then check it out in IE as it is fine there.

For a quick fix, try this.....

replace line 53....

this...
<td colspan=2 width=717>

with this...
<td colspan=2 width=717 style="padding-right:14px;">


But for a much better thing to do you should validate your page through
http://validator.w3.org/ for the only reason to make sure that your markup
has no errors such as unopenned tags, and properly nested elements.

You page is quite a little mess actually, and the validator will most
certainly make future debugging of your page a lot easier.

If you do have access to firefox, I recommend that you get the "HTML
Validator" extension. It will suggest a "cleaned up" version of your HTML.
