Hi troy beckett Generally when using floats, it's best to apply a width. So In this instance the UL.nav is floating right, then the LI elements are floating left.. but floating left to what? If you apply a width on the UL, say 94% it will span the width of the column. What would be better is to apply the class .grid_8 omega to the actual UL; this will reduce the need for a DIV and extra CSS.
