Hi,

This is an easy one, change your CSS to the following;

ul {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style: none;
    width: auto;
}

ul li {
    position: relative;
    top: 5px;
    left: 1px;
	display: inline-block;
}

li ul {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    top: 25px;
    display: none;
}

ul li a {
    display: block;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-family: Arial;
    font-size: medium;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: White;
    background: #fff;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    background-color: Black;
}

/* Fix IE. Hide from IE Mac \*/ * html ul li {
    float: left;
}* html ul li a {
    height: 1%;
}

/* End */

li:hover ul {
    display: block;
}

a:hover {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #960;
    background-color: Purple
}

startList
function() {

if:(document.all&&document.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
for :(i=0; i:<navRoot.childNodes.length; i:++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
if :(node.nodeName=="LI") {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" over";
  }
  node.onmouseout=function() {
  this:className=this.className.replaceĀ»
	(" over", "");
   }
  
window.onload=startList;

li:hover ul, li.over ul { 
	display: block; color:Purple; }

ul id="nav"

/* Fix IE. Hide from IE Mac \*/
* html ul li { float: left; height: 1%; }
* html ul li a { height: 1%; }
/* End */

#NA
{POSITION:absolute;}

Hiya,

Thanks ever so much for helping me out. I don't know what you mean by hacks, I got this code from somebody else but would more than welcome any recommendations you have to improve the code. I am a beginner at this web stuff malarky....
