[thelist] css menu problem

[Nan Harbison]

Lisa,

The reason IE screws up is because it interprets elements differently.
Read this article:

ox_model/

I use suggestion 3, conditional comments for all websites that I create now.
You can tweak the CSS for each version of IE, since they all suck in
different ways.

I will be interested to hear why others use UL for menus. I do it because it
is a convenient way to style a group of the same elements without having to
use a separate div for each element.

Subject: [thelist] css menu problem

Hi,

Sorry to post here, but have tried sending to the css-discuss list and its
not getting through.

I'm a newbie when it comes to css and positioning.

 

I have two problems that need looking at if anyone can help.

 

They both concern the menu bar.

 

Page is here: http://www.koolfish.com/test/index.html

Css is here: http://www.koolfish.com/test/css/mainstyles.css

 

1.	In IE there is a gap between the red nav bar div and the gold
donations div which I can not seem to eliminate. 
2.	Is it possible to align the the red menu items to the right in the
red menu bar and if so how do I do that? 

 

On a side note,

Am I correct in building the menu as a <ul> ?

Should my donations link be in its own <ul> or is that fine just to leave as
text?

Why do you use a list for a menu when it's a menu and not a list?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Lisa
