Left border not wanted when list items wrap...

D

I looked at your suggested:

#navStrip UL {
line-height: 2;
margin: .2em;
padding: 0;
}

#navStrip LI {
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0 -.2em;
padding: .25em .5em;
border-left: 1px solid #00C;
border-right: 1px solid #00C;
}

However, it makes for separators at the start and at the end? At
least in FF 1.5 on a Mac.

Yes it does, intensionally for 2 reasons. 1) When the links wrap both
rows the links will be left in right bound with bars

| link | link | link | link | link |
| link | link | link | link |

instead of:

link | link | link | link | link |
| link | link | link | link

Which I thought was the problem you wanted to avoid and 2) with what
your are currently doing doen't work in IE.
[/QUOTE]

The only problem I wanted to avoid is the separator appearing
where it is obviously not needed by the reader. (i) At the left
of the first link on each line and (ii) At the right of the last
link on each line. Considering the uncertain cross browser
operation of so many attempted solutions to this problem I have
decided to give up for now. By having no separators at all! This
is cross browser, cross platform easily done at least.

I know the little coloured rectangles are all the rage, for my
own home site stuff, I can indulge my minimilist whims and not
even have vertical separators....

Your php stuff is beyond me at the moment. But good for you...

Okay, forget that. It's worse than your regular posts... :)

Well, I'm still trying to figure out how standing on my head will help! :)

Oh. Well as I understand it, dyslexic people see things on the wrong
side - "cross eyed" in a manner of speaking. Standing on your head
would reverse the order which is doubly reversed by the malady (-like 2
negatives make a positive) and everything might come out more or less
okay. I realize that the letters would be inverted in the process, but
hey, you can't have everything.

Well, some do I guess, but not all. I didn't reverse letter although
without any thought at a young age I found I could mirror write, like
ol' Leonardo. But others like me seem to miss letters or parts of words
while reading and writing. Word processors with spell check have been my
my salvation.

Actually I just upgraded from Mozilla to SeaMonkey and found that the
spell checker checks as you type like MS Word, SWEET! Now if I could jet
get my old Orbit 3+1 theme for SeaMonkey instead of this damn pale grey
I'll be happy.

Perhaps y'alls have like bidirectional brains that miss things now and
then 'cause they don't know whether they're coming or going?

I've seen SeaMonkey on the Moz site, but that's only for Linux systems,
isn't it?

Many times I don't know whether I am coming or going!

Nope, for them all! mozilla.org is stopping the Mozilla Suite at 1.7.12
(akin to Firefox 1.0.7) so another group had taken up the cause for the
suite and it is named SeaMonkey 1.0 which has the new Firefox caching
upgrades and security patches.

A note though, it is essentially Mozilla so it install in the
..\mozilla.org\seamonkey folder and uses the same profile folder as
Mozilla , (salt and all). I haven't uninstalled Mozilla so I have to be
careful not to open both at the same time else I guess I could corrupt
my mail folders.

What really gets me is when I worry about that standing still.

Sounds great, I'll try it. (I also have Moz 1.7.12 so thanks for the
heads-up.)

I'm impressed so far, but I am missing my skin. Cannot stand the 'New
Netscape' grey. And classic, well it is so 90's!
