Hi all, I am having a problem and can't seem to see the elegant solution. I have a simple ul list nav with rollover states. I need to have the selected state show without any background, just white, to blend in with the content below it. The nav was created in CSS and didn't have this look built in and I just can't seem to figure it out without wasting a ton of code to do it. I have tried to have a selected or non link style so that the background would just be white, but if the selected link is "selected", then it doesn't need a ahref tag and thus breaks the CSS function... Any help would be greatly appreciated. HTML : <div id="tabsE"> <ul> <li><a href="#" title="Hotel Overview"><span>Hotel Overview</span></a></li> <li><a href="#" title="Room Types"><span>Room Types</span></a></li> <li><a href="#" title="Property Info"><span>Property Info</span></a></li> <li><a href="#" title="Good to Know"><span>Good to Know</span></a></li> <li><a href="#" title="Link 5"><span>Hotel Slideshow</span></a></li> </ul> </div> CSS : #tabsE { width: 733px; margin: -25px 0 0 0; padding: 0; position: relative; } #tabsE ul { margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; width:auto; float:right; font:bold 11px Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; } #tabsE li { display:inline; margin:0; line-height:1.5em; } #tabsE a { float:left; background:url("tableftE_1.gif") no-repeat left top; margin:0; padding:0 0 0 4px; text-decoration:none; } #tabsE a span { float:left; display:block; background:url("tabrightE_1.gif") no-repeat right top; padding:5px 15px 4px 6px; color:#000; } /* Commented Backslash Hack hides rule from IE5-Mac \*/ #tabsE a span {float:none;} /* End IE5-Mac hack */ #tabsE a:hover span { color:#FFF; } #tabsE a:hover { background-position:0% -42px; } #tabsE a:hover span { background-position:100% -42px; } Thank you, Cory Shubert <http://www.worldagentdirect.com/> ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
