I don't know example what you are trying to accomplish. I think one of
the things you may be encountering is something I encountered in some
test/demo pages I've posted here where the width of an inner box is not
consistent with the way it resizes its parent box.
I'm still dabbling in making a horizontal menu row, usually for the top
edge of a page. Your case is a tad bit different because the box below
the menu needs to be the same size (I'm guessing). This seems like it
needs a table layout. A table with the first row being divided up into
N cells for N buttons, and the 2nd row having colspan=N so it encompasses
all the columns of the buttons, would be the starting point. Then you
have to make sure the background colors and everything fills up what it
needs to. The fact that N on the upper row is different than the N on
the lower row would complicate this. That might require a nesting of
tables where you have an outer table of 3 rows of just 1 column, and in
the first row a new table of 1 row and 7 columns, and in the third row,
a new table of 1 row and 5 columns. Or you can avoid that complication
by just letting the "subscribe to our newsletter" take up the last 3 of 7
columns.
Unfortunately, if you do use tables, you have to choose between doing it
CSS or having it work on IE. But I think if you have tables in HTML and
do the rest of th styling in CSS it should work. Make a special class
to style a button slightly different (different color, for example) and
use that class (maybe with the class for all buttons) on the one table
cel(TD element) that identifies that page. Then at least you have a
minimum of coding in HTML and nothing needs to change in CSS between
each page.
