Tabbed Menu Line Wrap Problem

[Peter Hoyle]

I'm trying to generate a tabbed menu system that will wrap to the next line
when necessary.

I tried using the css shown on this website
http://www.sitepoint.com/print/accessible-menu-tabs

It works fine for a single row but as soon as it goes to a new row, the
format of the first tab on the new row goes wrong in IE6 though not in
Firefox 1.0.

The original markup is generated by an asp.net repeater control but a static
version of the problem can be found here

Do you have any ideas how I can fix this,

Thanks,
Peter

The solution proved to be rather basic:-

Enclose the menu system in <ul> <li> tags.
For the <li> tag
display: inline;
float: center;

ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;
text-align: center;
line-height: 20px;
}

ul li {
font-weight: bold;
float: center;
display: inline;
position: relative; /*** IE6 needs this to display the links ***/
}

ul li span{
white-space: nowrap;
}

Cheers,
Peter

No such thing in css 2.x.

Thanks for the information - actually I can't see it in css 1.x either.
It works for the moment but I'll keep a look out for a more valid method,

Duh, css1 is a subset of css2.

No it doesn't, get rid of it, it doesn't do anything.

Btw, configure your news client to snip sigs when following up, or do it
manually.

float: center;

Removed as informed.

Seems that ul{text-align: center} which I inadvertantly added at the same
time, was providing the wanted effect!

Thanks again,
Peter

You're supposed to remove *sigs* when following up, quoting the minimal
relevant bit what you are replying to *should* be left in.

No this is not your signature it is my signature..so there.

Now could you tell us how to do that in Outlook Express?
Not even my fidolook plugin can remove the signature afaik.
