I'm trying to make the menu smaller (about 20px in height). I am able to do this but the text disappears afterwards (I'm assuming it stays "centered" but the "center" is no long in the 20px high box). Any help is greatly appreciated as I am a CSS newb.

Thank you!

Ok, I've found that if I remove "display: block;" from:

Code: Select all

/* Styling the basic apperance of the menu elements */
#primary-nav a {
   display: block;
   margin: 0px; 
   padding: 5px 10px; 
   text-decoration: none;   
   color: #006699;
}

It will resize the menu perfectly but then when I highlight something on level 1 instead of the sub-levels dropping below it they open to the side of it. (I hope I'm using the right terms.) I have tried all of the other "display:" values with no luck. Thanks again for any help.

A link would help a lot, or more code...

Change the padding:

#primary-nav a {
display: in-line;
margin: 0px;
padding: 2px 10px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #006699;
}

Didn't change anything noticable.

The sub-levels are still appearing to the right instead of underneath.

Put back the display block:

#primary-nav a {
display: block;
margin: 0px;
padding: 2px 10px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #006699;
}

div#navigation ul {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #FFF;
line-height: 16px;
white-space: nowrap;
}

Or something suitable.

Like this:

div#navigation {
height: 20px;
width: 100%;
border-top: solid #0D130D 1px;
border-bottom: solid #0D130D 1px;
background-image:url(uploads/TimeToRest/bg_navigation.gif);
}
div#navigation ul {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #FFF;
line-height: 14px;
white-space: nowrap;
}
div#navigation li {
list-style-type: none;
display: inline;
}
div#navigation li a {
text-decoration: none;
text-transform:uppercase;
letter-spacing:1px;
