Hi Jim,
Margins and padding are 0.
Here is the HTML:
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li>
<a href="#">a1</a>
<a href="#">a2</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="#">b1</a>
<a href="#">b2</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
The CSS is:
* {margin:0; padding:0}
#menu {margin-top:20px}
ul {list-style:none}
ul * {float:left;}
li {margin-top: -20px}
Thanks,
Sara
