With the current HTML and CSS, I made these modifications to the CSS
and got what you wanted (I think) in Firefox, Mac. That's all I've
tested it in, but it might be a start:
#navMid {
background: url(/htn/graphics/nav_mid.gif) repeat-y;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 9px;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
}
#navMid ul {width:98%; margin:0 auto;}
Along with the above, I added a <br style="clear:left;" /> just after
the closing </ul> for the #navMid ul
Having said that, I think you could get around having to add that
clearing element if you let the <div id="navTop"> ENCLOSE the ul
rather than be a separate element. I haven't tested that, but I
believe it would work. Then, just set the background image on #navTop
to be at the top with no-repeat. I believe that should work.
The centering method is to specify a width less than 100% for the UL,
then to use the margin:0 auto; as in the modified CSS above.
Hope this helps some.
Chris
