The best way for you to be doing your navigation menu, not using tables, is to arrange it using styled unordered lists. There's a million articles on getting this done, but the best ones (in my opinion) are the "taming Lists" articles on [url=http://www.alistapart.com]A List Apart[/url]. Now, I went in and had a look at your CSS there, and to be perfectly frank, you've got a lot of work to do. It's a mess. Some suggestions for you: [olist] * Formatting your CSS: You've got a mixture of styles in that style sheet. Pick one, and stick with it. The one that I, personally, use goes like this: [code] #id-name { property1: value; property2: value; } [/code] It makes it very readable, and allows people to help you better because they [i]can[/i] read it. Don't declare things more than you have to. That's very important. Makes for big, cluttered, unreadable style-sheets that just confuse people. Your current style-sheet declares .lback (I think it was that) twice, for no descernable reason. The two could easily be combined into one, and it will save time, and make it easier to read. Make sure the what you name your classes is what you use in your markup. You have, at one point, .rborder in oyur stylesheet, and class="rboder" in your markup. *Don't assume: This is probably one of the biggest things I've learnt in CSS. Don't make assumptions that what you have should jsut work, or that what someone else tells you to try, won't. Or, for that matter, is irrelevant ot what you're trying to do. It's all relevant, because it's all a learning process. If you don't [i]know[/i] how something someone suggests fits in, ask, don't tell them that it's not relevant. Hel, you might be right about it's irrelevance, but if you don't ask, you'll never find out the greater truth, will you?
