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 <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/pmc-smaller.png> REM: here also Mozilla-blues are coming. ;-) * larger font-size <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/pmc-larger.png> 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.
