Hi Marc, Is that url OK? I don't see any navigation bar (Safari, FF or IE/ Windows). Regarding the question, provided that you have made your list item anchor tag display:block then you can specify a width, and right- range the text within that. The width you set takes care of the placement of the background image, so the width of the text doesn't matter. You have a lot of control over where you place the background image.
