ok, heres my problem. I need a menu of links at the top of a page, horizontally centered, with text labels and anchor-based rollovers (changing background and border color).
What I can do:
- centered with inline elements using text-align (fails because IE doesnt render padding/border correctly with inline anchor tags inline)
- left justified links with block anchors and correct rollover (by floating LI's left).
What I cannot do:
- center a horizontal list of block A tags
The text links themselves are all variable so no real widths are known. Each links should be relative size to the text it contains. Margin auto isn't going to work since, again, no width is known. Here, again, it seems like tables are the way to go... and I'll do that unless someone tells me the way to do it without them ;)
