Subject: RE: [css-d] hover nav bg?

You're using this code for your hovers:

background-position: -40px center;

That means that the image is hanging 40px off the left of the link.  Since
it's not in the link box anymore, it's not visible.

If you reset that "-40px" to "0" or "left" then the whole image will be in
the link box, and show up.

If you want the arrow to hang off the end of the parchment (which is the
only reason I can think of for what you did) then give the <a> tags negative
left margin, and then left padding to compensate.

Also, the highlight color of the menu items is too close to the background
color.  When I checked it this morning at home, I mistakenly thought they
were disappearing.  At work, with a better monitor, I can see that they're
still there, but pretty close to invisible nonetheless.

Thanks, Tim!  I've got this working perfectly now.  The only problem I'm
still having is with IE7 (and I've yet to test IE6 since I need to fire up
an ancient computer to do that)--the arrowhead still is cut off in IE7.  Any
thoughts on that??

Otherwise, all I need to do now is to get the arrowhead looking decent, and
then build my content repeating bottom.  

Really appreciate the help from everyone who has replied!

Thanks,

Jenni
