I'm having problems with this one; :confused:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/csslibrary/item/animated_horizontal_tabs/

The first div in the CSS doesn't get rendered from the mark up. I've added an extra div at the start of the CSS and it all works. I guess I'm missing a { or } in the code but I can't see where.

Here's the CSS;

<style type="text/css">


.animatedtabs{
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
font-size: 14px;
/*font of menu text*/
}



.animatedtabs ul{
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
margin-left: 10px;
/*offset of first tab relative to page left edge*/
padding: 0;
}


.animatedtabs li{
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}


.animatedtabs a{
float: left;
position: relative;
top: 5px; /* 1) Number of pixels to protrude up for selected tab. Should equal (3) MINUS (2) below */
background: url('../media/AnimatedTabLeft.gif') no-repeat left top;
margin: 0;
margin-right: 3px; /*Spacing between each tab*/
padding: 0 0 0 9px;
text-decoration: none;

}


.animatedtabs a span{
float: left;
position: relative;
display: block;
background: url('../media/AnimatedTabRight.gif') no-repeat right top;
padding: 5px 14px 3px 5px; /* 2) Padding within each tab. The 3rd value, or 3px, should equal (1) MINUS (3) */
font-weight: bold;
color: black;
}


/* Commented Backslash Hack hides rule from IE5-Mac \*/
.animatedtabs a span {float:none;}
/* End IE5-Mac hack */



.animatedtabs .selected a{
background-position: 0 -125px;
top: 0;
}


.animatedtabs .selected a span{
background-position: 100% -125px;
color: black;
padding-bottom: 8px; /* 3) Bottom padding of selected tab. Should equal (1) PLUS (2) above */
top: 0;
}

.animatedtabs a:hover{
background-position: 0% -125px;
top: 0;
}

.animatedtabs a:hover span{
background-position: 100% -125px;
padding-bottom: 8px;
/* 3) Bottom padding of selected tab. Should equal (1) PLUS (2) above */
top: 0;
}


</style>


#top {
position:relative;top:1px;
}

#banner {
margin: 5px auto 0 auto; position:absolute;top:1px;background-image:url('TitleBanner.jpg');background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: center;height:140px; width:1000px;border:3px;border-color:#0066FF,;border-style:groove
}


#navbar {
margin: 5px auto 0 auto;position:relative;top:140px;

}

#navbarbtm {
position:relative;top:171px;border-bottom:2px;border-bottom-color:#6699FF;border-bottom-style:ridge

}

Here's the mark up;
