Answer 1

You don't need the div's.

HTML:

<div class="nav3" style="height:705px;">
    <a href="http://www.facebook.com/" class="icons"><img src="images/facebook.png"></a>
    <a href="https://twitter.com" class="icons"><img src="images/twitter.png"></a>
</div>

CSS:

.nav3 {
    background-color: #E9E8C7;
    height: auto;
    width: 150px;
    float: left;
    padding-left: 20px;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    color: #333333;
    padding-top: 20px;
    padding-right: 20px;
}

.icons{
    display:inline-block;
    width: 64px; 
    height: 64px; 
   }

 a.icons:hover {
     background: #C93;
 }

Check this out. Just use float and get rid of relative.

#icons{float:left;}

Answer 3

Change div to span. And space the icons using   HTML

 <div class="nav3" style="height:705px;">
 <span class="icons"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/"><img src="images/facebook.png"></a>
 </span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 <span class="icons"><a href="https://twitter.com"><img src="images/twitter.png"></a>
 </span>
 </div>

CSS

.nav3 {
background-color: #E9E8C7;
height: auto;
width: 150px;
float: left;
padding-left: 20px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #333333;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
}

.icons{
display:inline-block;
width: 64px; 
height: 64px; 
}

 a.icons:hover {
 background: #C93;
 }

span does not break line, div does.

Answer 4

try putting both images next to each other. Like this:

    <div id="icons"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/"><img src="images/facebook.png"></a><a href="https://twitter.com"><img src="images/twitter.png"></a>
    </div>

Answer 5

Instead of using position:relative in #icons, you could just take that away and maybe add a z-index or something so the picture won't get covered up. Hope this helps.
