Help, please.

I am new here and pretty new to CSS.

I've got this website and the guys in charge are wanting pixel accuracy in placement of text and graphics.

So far, I can make it look ok in IE or in Firefox, but not in both.  

I have two issues:

1.  The text MUST stay at smallest or it will not fit in the space the client insists it fit into.  Is there some way to force the text to not change, no matter what?  (And, yes, I know that the text is way too small; the client is always right, aren't they?)

2.  The drop-down menu is position:absolute; and this puts in where I want in IE at present or in Firefox, but, apparently, top must be different for each.  Can this be done in such a way as to NOT require Javascripting?

The site is currently at: http://64.177.196.15/psh.php

Suggestions?

TIA,

-- Emily
