    #main a:link, {  
    Code (markup):
    Lose the comma. Makes all the difference. :)

    You should also validate your page. You have about 90 errors and warnings. When you fix them, you may find other breakage.

    The sidebar is non-semantic markup, so I'm not familiar with the effects you're experiencing.


    cheers,

    The problem is the table ID is main

    Then in your css, you have main h1 and h2 with top margins, but not in the link css.

    basically, the browser is being confused. try giving your h1 and h2 tags a different style name in css sheet, and see if that fixes the problem.

    It very much appears that removing the comma does, indeed, work.
