Thank you both for the border suggestion. You have to love when a simple solution smacks you right in the face :-D That will work beautifully. As for the navbar and content div's, basically to clarify what I'm looking for, I want the navbar to essentially be on the left of the content div as it is now, but I'm looking for a way to position the content div a fixed amount of space from the navbar div without having to assign the navbar div any fixed or liquid width. The reason for that is because if I ever add longer links to the list, I want to have it adjust accordingly without having to edit any style code. Georg, your suggestion about using a margin to displace the content div, I thought, would cause the content div to start below the navbar. I think I see how it would work though, since the navbar would be floated above it, the margin should not conflict. I also had another idea however, and was wondering if it would give me a similar effect, but with even more ease and dynamic updating. I was thinking that I could float the navbar div WITHIN the content div, that way not only would it hover over the content div, but would displace the content inside the content div as well, as determined by it's width. This way I don't have to worry about adjusting the margin for the content div, given the navbar width became to large. Sound right? ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
