Thanks to everybody for all of the information so far. Here is a link to the test page: http://www/madtoon.net/testNav.html. Go easy on me, I'm not a graphic artist, or a typesetter :) The idea was to have a top level 'form' that contains a greeting, the date, two search boxes, and info for a stock symbol. Underneath is a three level navigation drop-down navigation menu. The question mark gif file is a placeholder for the dimensions of the real image. Following all of this is the actual page content, which can vary dramatically from page to page. It would nice if I could add extra items to, or change the font size of, either menu without messing up their alignment. I already tried varying the length of the greeting and it pushes everything right. I'd rather it just got truncated after a certain number of characters. Additionally, if the user resizes their browser nothing in the menu would wrap. I'm looking at it in IE6 right now and it looks ok, doesn't look ok under firefox et al. My goals were: - To create a navigation menu as devoid of as much javascript as possible. - Follow the latest browser supported CSS2 standards. - Be easily included into 'legacy' static html pages as a bridge to a more dynamic template based presentation. - Provide a limited capability for the user to customize some the features such as font size, colors, maybe even dropdown menu items. I read/borrowed a lot from A List Apart, suckerfish, and Tanfa. I did a lot of googling too. The end result was confusion. I am still learning and there seems to be many different ways to do the same thing, with all the different browser interpretations of CSS, browser hacks... Incidentally, if there are some good publications that will help me get a leg up on all of this I would appreciate any recommendations.
