I think it's just that your viewport is sized such that the content seems to expand to fill it. My monitor is 1920x1200, so my viewport is large enough that the content stops before the bottom. I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe just put a bottom border on your wrapper so that it looks closed off. >> Also, can you isolate the effect you're trying to achieve? >> > > On the reference page there is a distance between the arrow and the > text, while on the new one i can't get any space i.o.w. the arrow sits > where it should be but i can't seem to push the text of the links > further away from it.

Otherwise, use negative positioning on the background to pull it over. That would be something like: background:transparent url(../Images/activenav.jpg) no-repeat scroll -5px 0; To be honest, I'm not sure if you can use ems for background positioning or not. You can certainly use percentages but I'm not sure about ems. >> The active class has a >> -2em left margin that pulls the link text over, so it's working the way >> you have coded it. >> If you're referring to the missing arrow, that's >> being overridden by the a:link definition, so you have a specificity >> problem.

You can try temporarily applying styles and see what the effect is immediately. Lori PS Please include the list in replies.
