The reason for the problem ( not the solution ) is that IE 6 especially and IE7 to a certain extent were non standards complaint IE 8 is better but not perfect.

I thought it might be. Thing is, I can find loads of hacks to get 6 to work, but can't seem to find any information about 7.

Two thoughts firstly and not related to the problem why have you got the double colon marks before and after the wording? Secondly and might work ( not sure just a thought ) is move the entire  | | | | Code: <div id="leftside"> <p><a href="index.html"><b>The Team</b></a></p> <p><a href="menu.html"><b>The Menu</b></a></p> <p><a href="venue.html"><b>The Venue</b></a></p> <p><a href="cheese.html"><b>The Cheese</b></a></p> </div> | | | | |
above the that way it should also linearise correctly if somebody is using a small format screen.

I'll give it a go. The double colons I did, just because I thought it looked nice!

No, it appears in the window title bar! I've got a feeling I tried your suggestion and it put the text under the menu rather than the menu under the text.

I don't know whether you can draw inspiration from this site: http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/devel ... ished.htmlAnd as I'm on the 'phones this afternoon I can't really spend too long "messing about" ( ) but I'm sure that the code, (aside from the css stuff at the beginning, which I think is not as good a solution as yours) could be modified to achieve the desired effect. Hope this helps. Let us know how if goes.  _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry I'll behave now. Promise

Sorted it!
It was actually my fault. I hadn't included the width of the border in my calculations. Reduced the left-hand margin by 1pt and it's fixed it. Not sure why it displayed okay in the other browsers though.
Still got the same issue in IE6, but not sure it's worth bothering with. Might have a go at it when I've got some time just for my own satisfaction, but not that fussed right now.
