This is for a horizontal navigation bar centered on the top of the page.

I have the following working satisfactorily in IE non-quirk mode: (no
vertical-align needed for my case)
<div id="navigation_pane_outer">
<div id="navigation_pane_inner">
<a class="link" href="#">Home</a>
<a class="link" href="#">Schedule</a>
<a class="link" href="#">Facilities</a>
</div>
</div>
body
{
text-align: center;
}
div#navigation_pane_outer
{
width: 100%;
}
div#navigation_pane_inner
{
width: 324px; /* 108 x 3 */
}
a
{
display: block;
float: left;
line-height: 35px;
width: 108px;
background-image: url(../images/link.jpg);
}
The ugly part is to force <a> to a block. I might as well replace <a> with a
truely block element and change to use scripting to handle the visual cue
change / click, but that would seem overkill for a simple task like this. Is
there a strong opposition to to the way I use <a> above for this task?
By the way, in quirk mode, the above code annoyingly shows an extra "s"
below the three <a>s on a separate line, but it disappears if I increase
div#navigation_pane_inner's width from 324 to 327. Any idea?
Thanks,
Chris
