I am trying to impliment the above menu on one of my sites (www.n2flash.com). I have added the css to my main styles page, and made the appropriate references to the menu. For some reason it isn't working properly.

I think my css is overriding it somehow because the spacing between the links do not look sufficient, but I can't find anything wrong! Can anyone help me?

Here is the source to my css:

I have created a div inside the "main" div, and placed the menu there. Thanks in advance for any insight you might offer.

The CSS looks for the <b> tag inside the list element. The case is that you missed the highlighted in your markups (HTML).

See if addingl the highlighted helps:


<li><a href="http://n2flash.com/category/1/Action/1.html"><b>Action</b></a></li>
<li> <a href="http://n2flash.com/category/2/Other/1.html"><b>Other</b></a></li>
<li> <a href="http://n2flash.com/category/3/Puzzle/1.html"><b>Puzzle</b></a></li>
<li> <a href="http://n2flash.com/category/4/Racing/1.html"><b>Racing</b></a></li>
<li> <a href="http://n2flash.com/category/5/Shooting/1.html"><b>Shooting</b></a></li>
<li> <a href="http://n2flash.com/category/6/Sports/1.html"><b>Sports</b></a></li>

I think what rangana said is right, and also be sure to add the <li class="current"> on the pages that you want a tab to already be shown.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks a ton! That was definitely the problem. I was trying to incorporate this into a bunch of php and overlooked the bold tags. This works like a charm now! Yay!
