This is a small thing but I do like to understand why styles behave the way they do. Here is a sample page in question: http://boisestate.edu/webcenter/bestpractice/accessibility.shtml
Stylesheets are here: http://boisestate.edu/webcenter/styles/main.css http://boisestate.edu/webcenter/styles/bestpractice.css The mystery has to do with line length in the navigation box on the right (not the left). Specifically, I have a width specified for the list items in that menu. I shouldn't have to, but if I remove the width statement, the lines word wrap about halfway across the box. There's plenty of room for the words, but they wrap and I cannot figure out why. I messed about with a variety of settings and finally have strong-armed it by setting a width on the li tag, but that feels like a kludge. The way you see it now is with kludge. I tried to append an image of what it looks like without, but the list rejected it because the image was too big. Sorry! You can take my word for it, the words wrap at about 50% of the box width. You'll see the kludge, it's on line 90 of the secondary stylesheet, bestpractice.css 1. Can someone explain why, with no width on the li, the words wrap the way they do 2. Can someone offer a better solution to the problem than the one I'm employing?
