I think the simplest solution is just to fill the whole button bar with the button background image. That way if you move the buttons around, the dark background will not show through.<br />
<br />
Change this line in your css:<br />
<br />
.topnav-wrap{width:825px;m<wbr />argin-left<wbr />:0px;heigh<wbr />t:42px;pad<wbr />ding-left:<wbr />5px;backgr<wbr />ound:url(.<wbr />./images/g<wbr />lobal_bar_<wbr />bk_r1_c2.g<wbr />if) repeat-x 50% top;} 
</div>

Hi!<br />
<br />
I have attached a picture of a black vertical space to the left of the left most button on the top navigation bar of this page: <a href="http://www.topsecurityinc.com/" rel="ugc">http://www.topsecurityinc.com/</a><br />
I would greatly appreciate someone showing me what needs to be corrected in the style sheet for the top navigation bar to be lengthened to eliminate this black space.. <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/04_w15/440550/capture.PNG" target="_blank" title="black space to left of navigation bar (833 bytes)"><img alt="black space to left of navigation bar" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 44px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/04_w15/440550/capture.PNG" /></a>TIA

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
