You just need to add extra padding to the relevant bits, if I'm not mistaken...
#navigation { clear: both; text-align: left; padding: 15px; padding-bottom: 4px; /* changed */ } #navigation a { text-decoration: none; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; border-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; /* changed */ padding-top: 5px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; background-color: #DDF; } #navigation a.current { background-color: #CCF; padding-bottom: 6px; /* changed */ font-weight: bold; } Patrick ________________________________ Patrick H.

Hey guys, sorry but im having a few troubles with my tabbed layout. I have coded it all myself, and i think it looks great. (Russ, took your advice and its a list now too, so it degrades well!) Now - im just having a problem with the text, being a little too low, its nearly sitting on the bottom border: www.neester.com/tdir as you will see its very close, i just want, maye a 4 pixel gap between the text, and the box... but without seperatinng them, and i have tried so much, and it just keeps seperating the tabs and the box... any help would be appreciated. Reply OFF LIST, if you are simply sending me advice, and the information isnt really relevant to the list etc... you get my drift - thanks heaps fellas! -- Chris Stratford [EMAIL PROTECTED] Http://www.neester.com ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
