Hi Mark !
I guess the "IE-blues" is a combination of the fixed font-size, the 
fixed li-height, the line-height and the paddings of the li's, li a's, 
li a:hover's and the span business, because if you remove the <span> and 
</span> tags in one of the list items, the blue is just a solid rectangle.

But I encountered another problem, which I think has to be solved first: 
the fixed font-size of the nav-bar doesn't work in other browsers than 
IE. Client side enlarging or shrinking of the font-size in FF is giving 
strange effects (in the the other menu bars as well).

    * smaller font-size

      REM: here also Mozilla-blues are coming. ;-)
    * larger font-size

I see 2 directions to choose:

    * You can go for css hoverable image buttons instead of html-text.
      Example
      <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-jakob-nav.htm>.
      A 3rd row with the "current" state can be added. - Disadvantage
      can be: if the link names have to be changed, or a new one has to
      be added, fresh image drawing is needed.
    * Rebuild the nav-bar: starting from scratch, without the fixed
      font-size and the fixed vertical heights. For long named items
      maybe there can be added a second line to get enough horizontal
      space for everything (fixed li-width). - Advantage of a fixed
      li-width: a combined left / right hover background can be used,
      and no span needed anymore.

Have nice days!
