Hi Emma,

Thanks for that, I shall do likewise. I have now scrapped that layout it
was all wrong anyway. The where used to apply .class
"current" which just brought about a mouse-over action; I'm now using it
to do something totally different.

I've not got it to work correctly yet, but did you know you can get a
totally JS free popup, using just CSS. As I say still not correct, but
may search google, some bright spark must have discovered this long-time
ago, and probably has it working correctly.
/** navbar link styles **/
#navbar a:link span
{display:none;
font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none;
}
#navbar a:visited span
{display:none;
font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none;
}
#navbar a:hover span
{display:block;
border:3px #000000 solid;
position:absolute;
margin:0 0 0 40px;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
font-weight:bolder;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#000000;
text-decoration:none;
white-space:pre;
height:auto;
width:auto;
z-index:100;
}
If you insert the span Homethis is our home
page It gives you a popup showing the text. Problem is the
block moves further away from the navbar as you move down, you also have
to edit the html (well align the text, for pre to work). As I say it
doesn't work correctly yet, but "hope springs eternal" or something like
that.

Kind Regards

D.G

Firstly a bit of advice that Tony gave me a while back and I have put to

good use ever since. Set the styles to work in Mozzila first then use
html
hashes (if necessary) to make the styles work properly in IE. I have
found
that mostly my styles work the same in both but some bits just need
tweaking. It helps a lot as Mozilla is much more compliant.

Can you show the CSS for this the divs Content and Advert2 and what the
span
is for as this might help.

Emma
