Thanks Jon,
I've finally managed to sit down and go through the style sheet and found
that these two lines of code were actually causing the problem:
.navi a:link, a:active, a:visited { text-decoration: none; float: left;
color: white; }
.navi a:hover { text-decoration: none; float: left; color: #669933; }
Obviously there are a few things wrong with the code, including the 'float:
left' class.
Everything seems to be working fine now, so thanks to everyone who replied
to my initial post and helped sort the problem.
Dale.
