Ellen, I had a quick look at your code and have noticed that your "nav_wrapper" has lots of redundant "empty" links and so I suggest try something like this:
1) Your basic code for nav should look something like this: <div id="my_menu"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Tab 1.0</a></li> <li><a href="#" class="active">Tab 2.0</a></li> <li><a href="#">Tab 3.0</a></li> <li><a href="#">Tab 4.0</a></li> </ul> </div> 2) your CSS should look something like this: body { margin: 0; padding:0; background: white; } #my_menu { float:left; width:100%; background:#fff; border-bottom:4px solid #000; overflow:hidden; position:relative; } #my_menu ul { clear:left; float:left; list-style:none; margin:0; padding:0; position:relative; left:50%; text-align:center; } #my_menu ul li { display:block; float:left; list-style:none; margin:0; padding:0; position:relative; right:50%; } #my_menu ul li a { display:block; margin:0 0 0 1px; padding:3px 10px; background:#00CC00; color:#000; text-decoration:none; line-height:1.3em; } #my_menu ul li a:hover { background:#00CC00; color:#fff; } #my_menu ul li a.active, #my_menu ul li a.active:hover { color:#fff; background:#00CC00; font-weight:bold; } 3) Try the the above two on your test document to see if it works with you. To link the css in your html use this: <link href="menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> 4) Please note that I have used ID for "my_menu" NOT class like you have done because there is only one my_menu on the page. Class is not appropriate here IMHO. hth > > http://www.pottersignal.com/catalog/catalog_sprinkler.html > > If you look at the page source, this is the class="nav" > item.
