Not working!

I have a navigation bar that is in a table and i wanted it at the top of its container wich also contains the content div so i pushed it farther to the top by adding margin-top:-3px; and its at the top now but for some reason only in opera it pulls up the container 3px not the nav bar!!!! I have no clue why!

All classes and id's are different and i dont know why its doing it!

And its not even brining the navbar to the top of it.

NVM that!

New problem! Its working in every browser but not ie!

The links have moved up 3px in every brower but its not in ie.

heres what the css looks like.

a.nav:link, a.nav:active, a.nav:visited {
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
display:block;
color: #FFFFFF;
margin-top:-3px;
}

And for some reason ie isnt reading it! help!
