i am not a web developer.

hehe you are gonna hate this!!! OK just took a cruise over ya code and it goes something like this. #nav is at 100 width, your #nav .main and #nav .blog are set to 100%, 100% is a good way to break things as it doesnt mean stretch to the sides exactly...

So ok you want it to be 100, add your padding of 10*2 and your border of 3*2 and you can set the #nav to 126 and the inner blocks to 100.

See if that works for you.

Actually, the css on this page isn't even what I'm bitching about. Oh, I know this css is borked. I was using a bunch of css files, including them on the appropriate pages, but that got kind of messy - so I lumped them all into one css file. This created oodles of conflicts, so I'm still going through and slowly fixing them. I've learned quite a bit about css since I wrote this page, so once again I'm pondering a redesign. :)

Gotta fix this other code first. Drowndown menus without using javascript is kinda neat, although nearly as flexible from what I can tell. I abhor javascript more than I dislike working out css problems, though. The inconvenience is worth it.

Oh yea me too, Javascript is fowl. I love it for small little things but really hate it the way many people use it.

Ive not seen menus done like that let me know when you have them up!

btw, the way I figured out what was up on your other page...use firefox and it has a web developer add in, which you can do stuff like outline all the block elements, then you could see the outter block was smaller than the inner ones causing them to be pushed over.

Well, erm, I sorta have an example menu up here, but I can't say how long it'll stay up. I don't want that layout, it's just an example of how the menu can be done. Isn't it cute?

Clever, man took me a moment to figure out how it hid it feel a spas now heh...

"CSS makes me want to stab things. "

Heh, you're quite in touch with your feelings. CSS makes me wonder what I'm so friggin' upset about in the first place...
