hi david
does it not make sense that they should do that?
it almost sounds like you want to prevent the urls from wrapping
that's a mug's game, because there will always be situations -- a narrow
window, or bigger fonts (see note below) where the urls *will* wrap, and a
horizontal scroll is the last thing you want

why not just let them wrap?
or, you can make things less troublesome by removing the margins on the
menubartext class
> .menubartext {
> color: #00F;
> font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
> font-size: 11px;
> margin-left: 15px;
> margin-right: 50px; /* space between urls */
> text-decoration: none;
> }
see, those styles (except for font-size and the margins) would be better
defined as
.menubar a { }
because then your code would be cleaner, too
use a non-breaking space between two normal spaces in order to achieve good
separation between urls
<div class="menubar">
<a href="url1">url1</a>
<a href="url2">url2</a>
<a href="url3">url3</a>
</div>
note: for a nav bar, 11px is (a) too small, and (b) too fixed
