CSS IE problem and navigation bar question

[mfv84]

Hi

I have 2 questions:

Is there a way to make all elements of an horizontal navigation bar the same
size no matter the size of the word? i think i can use a background image but
maybe someoneknows other way..

and the problem with IE is that im setting the bottom border style of a thing
as dashed and thin but it looks like bold or something on IE and normal in
firefox, does anyone knows a way to correct this?

Thanks

Use graphics for the menu elements.

you can do this with css. Set the link to display block (i use [BULLET][LI]<a>
for my menus, fyi)

#navigation ul li a{
display: block;
width:100px;
height:20px;
padding:5px;
background-color:#.......
}

The problem with that is what happens when someone increases the text size
in the browser. As far as I know, the only way to avoid such problems is to
use graphics for the menu options.

i fixed the IE problem by setting the border width to "1px" instead of "thin", and i tried the "display: block;" thing but it ordered the navigation bar vertically! maybe i'm missing something....

Yes - you are missing the float:left.... 8)
