Very true. The problems with these two pages.
<http://www.applegateelements.com/contact.shtml>
<http://www.applegateelements.com/agreement.shtml>
is one, the very wide header image and two, the wish to have something
centered. I would recommend to Matthew that he has the menu beginning
from the left and remove all of this.
#menu, #menu a {
position:relative;
}
#menu {
border-bottom: 0;
float: left;
left:50%;
margin-bottom:-1px;
margin-top: 40px; /* added to push it well below the header */
padding-bottom: 0;
}
#menu a {
right:50%;
}
#menu a a {
right: 0;
}

Precisely. It is easy to center a navigation if there are only so many
links.
