Yes, I want the nav to be kind of popping a bit so its obvious. I figured it would fail at the
640, which doesn't concern me since I don't believe I have any users of that res (all friends and
family.)

I do agree. Like I said I got most of the code from bluerobot.com, I failed to mention in my
second post that I was concerned about the absolute sizing. Of course using CSS keywords is also
problematic. What is the prevailing technique used by everyone? As troublesome as px sizes can be
(particularly in NS) I have had the best results for consistency in the past with them.

Another thing I failed to mention again, I have not been through the code for the XHTML just yet,
still deciding if I even care to do XHTML at this point. You are correct with your comments on the
tags, although I missed the "tom's should be tom's" comment -- is there an character entity for a
single quote I should be using? I forget.
