Nav Block not staying put. Any thoughts?
Okay so I feel like a bonehead because I've been around LJ too long to still need help with stuff like this - but I'm completely lost so I thought I'd give this a try. I'm crossing my fingers that one of y'all will know what to do.
As you can see in the first picture below - my nav buttons/block will not go up to sit on the bottom left corner of my header.
When I have my Firebug/Inspect Elements open it almost looks like the nav block is attached relatively to the inspect elements window at the bottom of my screen (meaning I can resize my firebug or inspect element and the nav block moves with the resizing) - so I can get the block exactly as I want it but when the inspect element closes, the block moves down to where you can see in the picture.
<<< Perfect (with the Inspect Elements open) . Moving with the Inspect Elements window >>>>>
I originally got the coding from here: http://street-of-mercy.livejournal.com/75803.html
but I made quite a few changes - particularly with the #header coding (The header before was meant for a much smaller content width and I edited the coding to center the image.) - Perhaps this is the problem?
Below is my current coding - and I would appreciate ANY help anyone could give me. I've been looking at it for too long and now I'm cross-eyed. Ugh.
