  2. Uh oh. There seems to be a bug. (at least in Opera). If you mouseover the bar, and move the mouse horizontally, the background change doens’t occur on the other sections, only if you move the mouse out of the bar and over it again.

    Maybe this is just a bug with opera.

  4. This is a beautiful and simple menu, thanks. What I’m trying to do is add a drop down to it. How would add styles to this menu that would allow me to use a drop down menu structure?

  5. Everything to the right of a link moves slightly to the left, when you hover the mouse over a link.
    What can be done to avoid this?

  8. Under the css for: #nav li a:hover
    The last line is: margin:-1px;
    I changed it to: margin: 0px

    That seems to do the trick. Good luck!

  33. Thanks for your text. I would also like to say that the health insurance agent also works well with the benefit of the particular coordinators of any group insurance plan. The health agent is given an index of benefits searched for by anyone or a group coordinator. Exactly what a broker may is seek out individuals or maybe coordinators which in turn best match those needs. Then he reveals his suggestions and if all sides agree, this broker formulates legal contract between the 2 parties.

An innovative method to complete all of these tasks is by using a computer. These computers are mobile, small, strong and transportable.
