Your menu seems a little clunky with all those cells and shims. You may
want to get a slimmer, more beautiful version using css and unordered
lists.

the learning curve for css and tableless layouts would be too steep and

I reply:
Jac, Because I'm sick and tired and don't have a creative thought it my
head right now, I sat down and wrote the css for your menu. All you
have to do is put in the proper place and insert the css into your style
sheet. Don't feel like you have to use it. I just wanted to do
something for you as thanks for all the help you have been to the list.
HTML:
<div class="nav">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">:: Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">:: New toyota</a></li>
<li><a href="#">:: Pre-owned vehicles</a></li>
<li><a href="#">:: Finance & leasing</a></li>
<li><a href="#">:: Employments</a></li>
<li><a href="#">:: Book a service</a></li>
<li><a href="#">:: Test drive</a></li>
<li><a href="#">:: Promotions</a></li>
<li><a href="#">:: About us</a></li>
<li><a href="#">:: Location map</a></li>
<li><a href="#">:: Contact us</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
.nav a {
display: block;
margin: 1px 0px;
padding: 5px 7px;
width: 170px;
border: solid Gray;
border-width: 1px 1px 1px 0px;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.nav a:link, .nav a:visited {
color: Black;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}
.nav a:hover {
background: #CE0000;
color: White;
border-color: #414141;
}
.nav ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin-right: 0pt;
padding-right: 0pt;
}

the css. i'm trying to fix it now.
