CSS - Centered Horizontal Navigation

I have a menu, click he http://progra.ro/demomenu/
This menu not appear correctly in Internet Explorer 6 due to "SPAN" element. Anyone know how to fix this problem leaving the span element intact in HTML ?

All browser show the menu correctly, except IE6.Thanks!

I'm a CSS novice, struggling to understand the nuances of some open source CSS I'm using for a site.

The main horizontal navigation has an extra item at the end of the row and I can't figure out why. Can you help me get rid of it?

Here is my include for the navigation:

<ul>
<li><a href="/index.shtml">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/about.shtml">About</a></li>
<li><a href="/ultreyas.shtml">Ultreyas</a></li>
<li><a href="/weekends.shtml">Weekends</a></li>
<li><a href="/FAQs.shtml">FAQs</a></li>
<li><a href="/servant_community.shtml">Servant Community</a></li>
<li><a href="/resources.shtml">Resources</a></li>
<li><a href="/stay_in_touch.shtml">Stay in Touch</a></li>
<li><a href="/donate.shtml">Donate</a></li>
</ul>

Here is the CSS:
/*----------------------------*/
/* 2.4 - Navigation - Level 2 */
/*----------------------------*/
.nav2 {clear: both; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: verdana, arial, sans serif; font-size: 1.0em;}
.nav2 ul {float: left; width: 770px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-top: solid 1px rgb(54,83,151); border-bottom: solid 1px rgb(54,83,151); background-color: rgb(64,134,204); font-weight: bold;}
.nav2 li {display: inline; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;}
.nav2 li a {display: block; float: left; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px; border-right: solid 1px rgb(54,83,151); color: rgb(255,255,255); text-transform: uppercase; text-decoration: none; font-size: 100%;}
.nav2 a:hover, .nav2 a.selected {color: rgb(50,50,50); text-decoration: none;}
.buffer {clear: both; width: 770px; height: 30px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: rgb(255,255,255);}

I'd like "Donate" to be the last item, but there is another empty box appearing to the right of it.

Much obliged,

Laurie

I'm making a horizontal navigation menu using lists and CSS. It looks fine in IE, but in Mozilla, the double border on the bottom appears just beneath the top one, and the next line shows up after the unordered list. Hard to explain - you'd basically have to check it out for yourself:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I'm trying to get my horizontal navigation to work for a PTA page I'm creating. New to CSS and I think I've got a bit of the gist of it... but I'm really struggling with this. I've mostly "found" the coding I needed and then modified it to suit my needs.

As a designer, though, I still want it to look the way I want it to and I'm not quite able to accomplish that.

Basically, I would like a drop down menu added to the navigation I've created here - lwptsa . org/newsite/

This is the solution I found - lwptsa . org/newsite/dropdown . html

But I am unable to get the dark blue to continue to the end of the container.

** ACK, not allowed to post images. You can find the image I'm referring to he lwptsa . org/newsite/images/navigation . jpg

I'd like to fix the left margin spacing and it's coloring (A), making the lines between the buttons/blocks white (B) and having the blue flush with the white containers above and below (A). I'd also like to keep the top lines between the drop-down menu (C) but remove it from the main menu/navigation (B).

Hopefully this makes sense. My style sheets a

No drop-down menu, but working spacing and white separating lines (id - navigation):

Any and all help welcome. I'm trying to redesign the look and information of the PTA's website.

a.

I have been searching on the level world wide web for a tutorial about how to get CSS down for a horizontal navigation bar that uses different images for each individual button's off and on states?

Many of the tutorials I have found use some sort of background or two state images, and then write text on top the the images.

What if the buttons are designed in a non-arial/verdana/times/san serif font? I assume it would be best to just use images for the nav bar, but then, how do I write the CSS for a nav bar that's using a specific image as it's off stage, and then switches to another image when you scroll over it?
