Probably, but I only did that menu on my site for you to preview.  It seems
there's a couple of link styles.

I think that hover should be active, but to me the hover currently seems
like the item is un-selected because it goes to a color closer to the
background.  Using underline seems to be a bit more lively.

If everyone is +0 then it's not worth the effort, but I think the site
could use a little more spice.

On NS4 on Windows it keeps the input box from being huge.

What do you mean?  Are you saying you want it to look the same every place
and not change?  Ok, I can see that, but I don't think it should give two
choices where there's only one choice possible.

(This is the side-bar search box)

You mean a pulldown box with all the various places to search?  Or just a
pull down menu of This section and Whole site?

The problem was that Netscape 4 made the input field so huge, but maybe
that's fixed with the style sheet addition.  

If I understand correctly, you don't really like the side-bar search
because it uses too much space?  I'd agree there.

I think we could make the search a small input box and a graphic button.
