Maybe you stepped into the same problem as I did, "want to have lists, but CSS makes them jump like 5 px from left edge of the box". This is how you could try to make it in CSS: Put ul and li into your CSS document, list-style-type : disc for ul, and margin-left : 0 for both ul and li. That way your lists in your menus should start at the very left, and you could skip the entire table system you have made for your menus. The menuheader in your list could have the background color in .menuheader as well. You only need to say: code: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <div id="lmenuLYR"><div class="menuheader">.: Webmaste(R) :.</div><ul><li><a href="http://www.unusualfrequency.com/index.shtml">Main</a></li><li><a href="http://www.unusualfrequency.com/index01.shtml">Info</a></li><! -- the rest of your menu -- ></ul></div> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By the way, do you need to put out the full address for your links? I haven't worked with shtml, so I don't know if it works differently when linking to documents inside your main folder. But isn't it enough with - for example - a href="index.shtml" for documents in main folder, and a href="3Dworld/index.shtml" for document in another folder? Maybe it's different with shtml, I don't know. If so, I apologize for the comment. I am an amateur in web design, but willing to help if there is something I know about. Good luck with your site. Looks good! [/quote] Never thought of using a list for the menu, completely missed that, might end up changing it (gotta test it out see if does what I need). As for the includes yea it has to be a full url or I would end up putting the SSI in every directory below that which would mean editing that much more. Directories below the SSI read it as if the link is in or below the same directory the page is in. No apologies necessary. [quote]Well, it looks the same in all the bworsers I tested it in, but it looks uniformly bad in all of them. For starters, get rid of that half-toned background. It makes the text look super ugly and creates a moire pattern on my monitor (and I'd bet this happens with most aging CRT screens) which is kinda cool given the name of the website, but it's causes an annoyance that far outweights it's novelty value. Very little attention to whitespace (lack of margins, cramped text etc...), no order in the colour scheme (links and headings the same colour). Add to that the everything-in-a-box design trend which is starting to get really bloody old and the heading is looking like a 5 second photoshop bevel. Overall it's a nice try but it's severly lacking. There's definatly room for quite a bit of improvment. [/quote] Yea seems in resolutions other than 1024x768 have a problem with the screened background. And again never thought about the link/header colors. And I seem to be graphically challenged in the photoshop area. What I intend the main interface to be is more of a jumping point to interfaces and other various things. That's the reason behind the simple design or as you say [quote]the everything-in-a-box design trend[/quote]. And yea it does kind of remind me of a pre-made template but it wasn't. I really wanted to go with something different but I just hadn't been able to grasp any kind of graphic gesign. Everything I've done looks like a 6 year old made it lol. I kinda thought the logo was rather good, seein as how it took me a few hrs to get everything to line up. Thx for the tips hope there's more.
