Hi Mark !
I guess the "IE-blues" is a combination of the fixed font-size, the
fixed li-height, the line-height and the paddings of the li's, li a's,
li a:hover's and the span business, because if you remove the <span> and
</span> tags in one of the list items, the blue is just a solid rectangle.
But I encountered another problem, which I think has to be solved first:
the fixed font-size of the nav-bar doesn't work in other browsers than
IE. Client side enlarging or shrinking of the font-size in FF is giving
strange effects (in the the other menu bars as well).
* smaller font-size

REM: here also Mozilla-blues are coming. ;-)
* larger font-size
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/pmc-larger.png>
I see 2 directions to choose:
* You can go for css hoverable image buttons instead of html-text.
Example
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-jakob-nav.htm>.
A 3rd row with the "current" state can be added. - Disadvantage
can be: if the link names have to be changed, or a new one has to
be added, fresh image drawing is needed.
* Rebuild the nav-bar: starting from scratch, without the fixed
font-size and the fixed vertical heights. For long named items
maybe there can be added a second line to get enough horizontal
space for everything (fixed li-width). - Advantage of a fixed
li-width: a combined left / right hover background can be used,
and no span needed anymore.
Have nice days!
