/* why this padding exists:

in firefox, when you have a submenu whose height exceeds the height of one of its parent menus, it causes the entire nav block to jump up by the difference in height between the parent menu and the submenu. this jump is just a blink, it's gone in a split-second, but it's noticeable. this padding sets the height of the first menu (which itself is actually a submenu, because its parent is the single visible item in the navigation when nothing is rolled over) to be higher than the height of the screen. this menu then becomes the tallest menu in the group, and no submenu will exceed its height. this menu will still cause a split-second jump, but it's far off the top of the page and therefore none of its artifacts are visible to the user. for all subsequent menus beyond this first one, the top padding is negated below, in #mainMenuContents li ul ul.

note that, because the padding is a part of the menu, you cannot apply a border directly to the ul's that make up these dropdown menus, because the border will stretch up to the top of the browser window and look dumb. you can still use a positioned background image or background colors on the list items within the menu.

another side-effect of this tall menu is that the user can roll over the menu, then roll off vertically and the menu doesn't go away, because the mouse is sitting on the extra padding. you'd have to move the mouse horizontally until you're outside the padding in order for the menu to go away. */
