Hi,

Can anyone spare some time to take a look at http://www.varitek.co.uk/problem/

Check it out in both Firefox and Internet explorer and you will see the problem.

I remember coming across this issue a long while back but can't remember how I solved it.

If anyone can resolve this I will be most grateful.

Thanks.

The only way that I could figure out how to fix it was by setting the margin to -17 in the '#nav ul li' Now I didn't get to check this out in IE - but the saying goes:

design in any CSS compliant browser, then fix for IE (i.e. hack for IE)

yes, i reckon that's your problem. you need to write css for the ul then the li separately or else some browsers will apply default margin & padding values. just adding this fixed it for me...

Code:

#nav ul {
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
}

then take the ul out here...

Code:

#nav li {
	list-style-type: none;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
	display: block;
	float: left;
	background: url("../img/navBarBg.gif") repeat-x;
	font: 10px/20px "Lucida Grande", verdana, sans-serif;
	text-align: center;
}

Sorry - actually I'm not - because I wasn't really correcting him as much as I was making sure that I knew what he was talking about. And by the way - who is the foreigner her - lol.
