float it to the right and use em's for the height, width etc.
Thats a good solution. Thanks for the feedback everyone, especially
the great linky links. Im taking a close look at css blueprint grid
and the css gala examples.
BTW whats the wsg consensus about using icons in nav menus?
I recently read an article that basically said if you take the text
away most icons in nav menus become useless. Also they are quite
time consuming to create
I think they can be good for portal sites but thats about it.
For application interfaces, icons can aid experienced users who begin
to associate functions and sections of the application with the visual
metaphors of the icons, rather than the text. Regarding text, I would
recommend for main navigational items to accompany icons with text, if
icons are desired.
There are a number of good freely available icon sets and resources
out there, e.g. the Tango Desktop Project’s icons, which are currently
being assembled into a resource library under the Public Domain. :)
