Help with CSS drop-down menu

Hi all,

I'm trying to deploy a CSS drop-down menu I found here:

http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/

but it's causing all sorts of problems:

http://www.house.gov/velazquez/lh0205tres/dropdown.html

1. The spaces between top-level menu items is totally uneven. How can
I get proportional spacing between them?

2. The top-level menu is pushing my search box container down the
page. Something in the style they use (probably the 'em' attached to
the <li> element) is causing a huge amount of padding to the right and
pushing the search box out.

Any suggestions would be appreciate. Or if you know of an even cleaner
CSS menu let me know.

Also, thanks to those who answered my first questions on here...it was
a big help.

Luis

There are 26 validation errors. Fix the errors, see if the problem
persists, and then come back if it does.
