The problem is, that that makes the whole row 'dance' when hovering, as bold letters are wider than normal weight letters. I suggest using a different hover effect, such as a colour difference or a background colour, or an underlining. Anything that doesn't change the size of the letters. -- Els I forgot to mention, I completely agree with you on the bold hover effects, but my client is INSISTING on it. I've tried to talk her out of it! Alix Alix, I tried this in Firefox to lessen the "dancing text" during the hover effect. Haven't tried in any other browsers. Took the padding off of the li and placed it on the "a" and "a:hover". Works pretty well. #topnav li { font-size: 100%; display: inline; margin: 0px; } #topnav li a { display: inline; color: #FFF; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal; line-height: 35px; vertical-align: middle; padding-right: 35px; padding-left: 35px; letter-spacing: 0.14em; } #topnav li a:hover { display: inline; color: #FFF; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; padding-right: 33px; padding-left: 33px; letter-spacing: 0.125em; } Rod Thanks Rod. I'm still going to try and talk her into something else!
