Interesting approach...

I was trying to use padding/margins as I wanted to ensure that XXX
menu itme wasnt as wide as XXXXXXXXXXXXXX if ya know what I mean.

Your solution does work but ive lost the variable widths. Ill have a
play with it.

Yeah the IE min-width thing is a b***ch. Im using the Project 7 script
solution at the moment... Seems to work ok.

Thanks Hugh
