ugly wrap breaks

[The Bicycling Guitarist]

The nav bars of my web site break at least three different ways depending on
which browser is used, and they're all ugly. I've tried adding white-space:
nowrap; to the li. It breaks better in MSIE but not in FireFox. Even then,
the text is all the way against the left border. Where did the padding go?

Sample web page (about 150 pages have this nav bar) at
http://www.TheBicyclingGuitarist.net/studies/ with CSS at /css/style.css
Any help is greatly appreciated.

the sample page shows the CSS without the white-space: nowrap. To see one

Move the white-space:nowrap from "#menubar ul li" to either "#menubar"
or "#menubar ul". In both cases wrapping does not occur at all. This has
the effect that the menu extends past the right on narrow view windows.
If you do not like that, use multiple <ul></ul> sections within the
#menubar div. The break then occurs between the ul's when the window
narrows down.
Overall the above is not a very good solution.
The menu size has simply grown too large to display horizontally. At
least as a single line.

Thank you, Jim. So if I leave the nav buttons written as one horizontal
list, it won't break nicely with the borders I specify. I'd like to believe
there's some way to get this "look" AND break nicely with CSS. I will
rethink the design. There are examples out there for me to ponder. More
suggestions are always welcome of course.

After hacking at it for a while, I have a better solution. In the "ul
li" section (below) the margin spec controls the space between LI
elements. Padding controls the space within each LI. (I changed the colors
to make it easier for me to see what was happening.)
The line break occur between every LI, as you envisioned.

#menubar ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
color: #000;
list-style: none;
}

#menubar ul li {
float: left; /* This is what you really needed. */

margin: 1px; /* Space between LI's */
padding: 0.2em 1em; /* Space within LI's */

border: #f00 1px solid;
background: #ede;
}

#menubar ul li:hover {
background-color: #ffff99;
}

Thank you Jim for a wonderful Holiday present. You've made the world a bit
more beautiful in more than one way. I'll fix things later tonight after
family time.

Roast Child with Cornbread Stuffing

Turkey may be substituted for this classic holiday feast.
Although time consuming, this dish seems to take longer than it actually does;
as the entire house is filled with such a heavenly aroma,
the waiting becomes almost unbearable.

1 batch cornbread stuffing (see index)
½ cup melted butter

Remove the giblets from the infant and set aside.
Stuff the cavity where the child?s genitals and anus were located
using ½ cup per pound of meat.
Tie the arms flat to the body, then pull the skin flaps up to close the cavity.
Now tie the thighs up tight to hold it all together.
Place breast side up in a large metal roasting pan.
Bake in 325° oven covered for 2 hours.
Remove cover, stick a cooking thermometer deep into one of the
baby?s buttocks and cook uncovered till thermometer reads 190°,
about another hour.

1 cup seasoned flour
oil enough for deep frying
1 loaf French bread
Lettuce

mayonnaise, etc.

Marinate the fetuses in the egg-mustard mixture.

enough to make the mixture pliable.

Place seam down in a baking pan.

Umbilical Cordon Bleu

Nothing is so beautiful as the bond between mother and child,
so why not consume it?
Children or chicken breasts will work wonderfully also.

4 thin slices of smoked ham, and Gruyere cheese
Flour
eggwash (milk and eggs)
seasoned bread crumbs
1 onion
minced
salt
pepper
butter
olive oil

Pound the breasts flat (parboil first if using umbilical
cords so they won?t be tough).
Place a slice of ham and cheese on each, along with some minced onion
then fold in half, trimming neatly.
Dredge in flour, eggwash, then seasoned breadcrumbs;
allow to sit for a few minutes.
Sauté in butter and olive oil until golden brown,
about 6 minutes on each side.

Shish Kababes

poultry, and vegetables; just about anything can be grilled, and young humans
are no exception!

High quality marinade (Teriyaki and garlic perhaps)
1 inch cubes of tender meat, preferably from the nursery
Onions
bell peppe

[Jim Moe]

chicken stock and
allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the patties or stuffed heads, and some loose crawfish,
lobster, long piglet, or what have you.
Cook on low for 15 minutes, then allow it to set for at least
15 minutes more.
Serve over steamed rice; this dish is very impressive!

Cigars for the gentlemen (and ladies if they so desire)!

get

Glaze, then arrange pineapples and secure with cloves.

Boil till meat comes off easily with a fork.

Oven-Baked Baby-Back Ribs

Beef ribs or pork ribs can be used in this recipe,
and that is exactly what your dinner guests will assume!
An excellent way to expose the uninitiated to this highly misunderstood
yet succulent source of protein.

2 human baby rib racks
3 cups barbecue sauce or honey glaze (see index)
Salt
black pepper
