    Horizontal CSS Navigation - width sizes?

    Thanks - tried that and yeah I can adjust the width but the background image (or even colour when I set it to a plain colour) is only the size of the actual text length, not the whole width of the list item if you understand what I mean. New code: #navlist { margin:0; padding-top: 4px...

    The idiotic Northern Ireland "R Plate" law

    I agree with what you said, and have experience of creating long tail backs due to staying within the legal speed limit. Its amazing how many more miles I put on the car after my 1st year on R plates - once I came off them my mileage increased so much due to actually being able to get...

    Thanks for the help everyone, I had to use a solution suitable for IE6 as it's for a school website, and our managed service network (C2KNI / Northgate) within the majority of schools here, still uses IE6 at present. Cheers

    Two floating divs - same height?

    I have a div floated left (main content) and a div floated right (event bar) - both are position: relative; and must expand height-wise to fit the variable amount of text. Is there anyway to force the divs to be a certain height (at minimum) but expand as required? - i.e. if text in 1 is...

    Chip & Pin - different name?

    I've noticed an increasing trend in the garage where I work to use the pin number for your wife / husbands card, or someone elses... I notice the name is occasionally "Mrs" when a male is standing in front of me, or vice versa.... I've never refused any cards for payment if I realise this...
