thanks so much for sticking with me francky; i really appreciate it.
the reason the css is hopelessly complex is that different parts of it
get pulled into different pages depending on what theme and what
layout is chosen. it's as simple as i know how to make it given what
i need it to do.

the only place i can put this image is the body. i thought about
adding extra pixels to the bottom of the globe, but if a user resizes
the text, the footer with expand vertically and cover it up again.
this method seems like what i'm going to have to do though, since css
doesn't cover this. dang it.

yes, the margin-top moves the content area up so that the content's
sub menu is closer to the main navigation and the page doesn't get a
wide white space between the logo and content. i know the sub menu is
hiding behind the main menu, but i can't figure out why. the main
menu has no background coloring and should be transparent. i even did
a "html * {background: transparent none !important;}" and it didn't
help. afaik there is no reason why my sub menu is hiding.
i tried putting "position: relative" on various and all menu areas
along with a z-index but i had no luck with that either. what really
baffles me is why ie is showing the sub menu, though i'm not
complaining as that's the "target" browser anyway. :-/

it doesn't. the site is basically a template that people will put
content into. you can see how bad i am at pulling marketing slogans
out of my hat... lol.

i haven't encountered this problem. does it have something to do with
font-size maybe? have you gotten it with both small and large sizes?

nope. :( the menu is generated separately from the content, and the
sub menu only appears on certain pages. anything within
.content-inside i can manipulate. the things out of it are off limits
to me for this purpose.

it's saved my bacon more than once. :) i just found the suite
recently, but i also have a bookmark for just MODI, which is basically
the only thing i use.
