Hi List, I cannot come up with a solution by myself, stupid me. Maybe one can put me in the right direction.
I have a styled list as navigation where the text-links sit in list items with a fixed length (which i cannot change). If one entry gets longer than the size of the list item it just breaks to another line. They are supposed to have "font-size: bold;" in the a:hover pseudoclass. Sometimes the text just sits fine in one line whilst it gets to long during a mouseover and line breaks to two lines. Since the font-family is Arial and bold text can as well need less space than normal sized text depending on which letters the text consists of it even occures the other way round - namely text that needs two lines in normal state needs only one in hovered state. It is not possible to insert <br> by hand to force longer entrys to line break. ------------------ | list item 1 | ------------------ | list item long | <- mouseover... ------------------ | list item 3 | | long - breaks | ------------------ ------------------ | list item 1 | ------------------ | l.i.s.t i.t.e.m| | l.o.n.g | <- ...and the link takes two lines ------------------ | list item 3 | | long - breaks | ------------------ I need to avoid this since it can cause an awful flicker. P.S.: I cant do anything about the design. Thanks for any inspiration.
