styling list for navigation
What's the current wisdom on styling lists for navigation. What I'd like is for: links and background colors to be 100% of the width. multi-line OK (ie links will wrap). Padding OK. Same width in IE as other browsers I'm finding that IE differs from conforming browsers in the way it calculates width after adding padding (yes, strict doctype.) I have a feeling that things have moved on fro the old ListAPart article on this. Also, I thought IE6 had no trouble with margin auto on a fixed width (with strict), but I'm having trouble with that and have resorted to the old text-align hack. Jeff

You must be triggering quirks mode for that to happen. http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ > Also, I thought IE6 had no trouble with margin auto on a fixed > width (with strict), It doesn't.

The validator complained about the url which I had as: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd"> Changed to this: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/strict.dtd"> Should I be using 4.1 or is it 4.01? > >> Also, I thought IE6 had no trouble with margin auto on a fixed >> width (with strict), > > It doesn't. You must be triggering quirks mode. Post a URL. I think I have it now, but here, you won't like it though: http://www.fmtn.org/test2/city_gover...ion/index.html Jeff >
