I received some excellent advice. Yes, my CSS was being superseded. I had used Firebug but for some reason that did not show up in Firebug for me.
Another suggestion was to simplify both my HTML and my CSS. I had divs within divs for no good reason except that, as a beginner, I was copying and pasting from various sources. Finally I had forgotten to validate my CSS. Thanks for all the help. Nadine Original Message: Subject: [css-d] Horizontal Menu problems To: css-d@lists.css-discuss.org Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed I am new to a lot of CSS. I have been trying to get a horizontal menu to position. I have looked through the archives and found an List Apart example that I could duplicate in isolation: http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~nmisiasz/test/ListApart2.html I then tried to position the menu with my other elements. http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~nmisiasz/test/TestMenu.html My problems are: 1) positioning 2) font color of white has been lost or superseded. I checked with Firebug and it does not seem to be the result of the cascade. To put the matter in context, I am trying to update an existing site: http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~latamweb/index.html I would like to keep a similar look. My sense is that CSS is more fluid and I will not be able to get the menu bar to exactly align with the image that follows it. I do not know what to do that would make an attractive alternative. Thanks for any help you may give.
