Thanks for your help,

I did have 5 mins last night to take a look at the answer: much appreciated. I’ll reply to the post some point later today and make the changes to the CSS this evening.

The article’s great, by the way; really detailed and authorative. I’ll add a comment on SP too.

Set an equal line-height on the list, then display: inline; and white-space: nowrap; on the list items. Then replace the line-height with a height equal to the list itself on the anchors. If you haven’t done so yet, zero out your margins and padding so the browser defaults don’t get used.

And yes, those multi-word font declarations HAVE to be enclosed with quotation marks.

Sounds relatively straightforward…?

Why doesn’t this navbar work in IE?

It will be interesting to see what gets said. As I wrote in the post, I can’t find anything remotely wonky in the code except for the lack of quotes in the font stack, and I can’t believe that would have any effect on the layout being broken. I truly despise IE.

Yes, that’d be great. Now I don’t have Windows I can’t fix it at home, and work’s rather busy at the moment.

Ta,

Leon

I’m using a reclaimed WinME (!) machine now running XP. The version of XP I have came with IE6. My version of Opera is up to date, but until Firefox 3 can handle all of the extensions I use, I’m sticking with FF2. The monitor is the original, relatively small and rather dark. Not good. When I am left large sums of money by the mysterious uncle who will no doubt include me in his will, I will buy a decent #@$%&! computer. Until then (and after), I keep reminding the SP crowd that there are large numbers of unfortunates such as myself out there that can’t afford spiffy new computers and need to be kept in mind when design decisions are made.

Being a good little Linux user, I don’t have access to IE at home. I’ll fix this on Monday at work.

You don’t have IE7? Are you using a pre–XP system? I was using Windows 2000 up until 18 months ago on an 800X600 CRT monitor (and I rather liked it). Gave me a different perspective on web development.

thanks…
