I'd use an unordered list with background images for the graphics and normal text. For this, you must slice the navigation. The decorative part of the image may remain one single slice. Problem: Text-Sizing. If the user increases the text size, the layout will break. It may be possible to avoid this by absolute positioning with em sizing: <ul id="navigation"> <li id="home"><a href="home.html"><span>Home</span></a></li> [...] </ul> ul#navigation li { float:left; } ul#navigation li a { display: block; height: 100%; width: 100%; } li#home { position: relative; width: n px; height: m px; } li#home a span { position: absolute; top: y em; left: n/2 px; width: z em; margin-left: -z/2 em; } I didn't test this, but it may be a starting point. regards Martin ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
