IE6 and older don't respect declared dimensions - will expand elements
if content doesn't fit.
IE7 kind of respect declared dimensions, but still doesn't treat
'display: inline/block' quite as one would expect.
These rendering problems may be solved when solving point 3 below, but I
don't have time to test.

IE/win doesn't support CSS table at all, so all alignments and
auto-expansions based on 'display: table/table-cell' is lost on that
browser.

For vertical centering in IE/win you can probably use the solution
described here...

The old IE/win whitespace bug. Try adding a suitable 'hasLayout'[1]
trigger to the list-items and/or anchors.

IE5 will stay in "quirks mode" no matter what - these old versions don't
have a mode-switch, so you have to take that into account while trying
to fix any issues.


BTW: you have two instances of id="nav_index", and an ID should only be
used once in the source-code of a document. CLASSes are for repeated use.
