    1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.

    2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.

    3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.

    4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

    To get this http://www.web-user.info/test/test/DAIndex.html which looks all lined up in firefox,

    I made these adjustments to your 'SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css'

    change:
    Code:
    /* The outermost container of the Menu Bar, an auto width box with no margin or padding */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal
    {
    	margin: 0;
    	padding: 0;
    	list-style-type: none;
    	font-size: 100%;
    	cursor: default;
    	width: auto;
    }
    /* Set the active Menu Bar with this class, currently setting z-index to accomodate IE rendering bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html */
    ul.MenuBarActive
    {
    	z-index: 1000;
    }
    /* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
    {
    	margin: 0;
    	padding: 0;
    	list-style-type: none;
    	font-size: 100%;
    	position: relative;
    	text-align: left;
    	cursor: pointer;
    	width: 14.57em;
    	float: left;
    }
    /* Submenus should appear below their parent (top: 0) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */

    to this add the first red part of code-I needed to add the black border and it worked fine)
    Then I used the px font size in the second(I don't use em and did not want to mess adjusting the size to get it to work.Just reduce the 14.57 to the width that works.

    Code:
    /* The outermost container of the Menu Bar, an auto width box with no margin or padding */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal
    {
    	margin: 0;
    	padding: 0;
    	list-style-type: none;
    	font-size: 100%;
    	cursor: default;
    	width: auto;
    width:928px;
    border:1px solid black;
    }
    /* Set the active Menu Bar with this class, currently setting z-index to accomodate IE rendering bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html */
    ul.MenuBarActive
    {
    	z-index: 1000;
    }
    /* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
    {
    	margin: 0;
    	padding: 0;
    	list-style-type: none;
    	font-size: 100%;
    	position: relative;
    	text-align: left;
    	cursor: pointer;
    	width: 232px;
    	float: left;
    }
    /* Submenus should appear below their parent (top: 0) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */
    I hope I am doing this right-the colors and all.Trying to do it like the gurus do -lol

    Thanks to all who replied.I have fixed most of the error those I made before with page lay out.But here in this link http://www.dublinawamileague.net46.net/DAIndex.html you can see Horizontal Spry menu is not filling the full Div box.I tried several ways like increase the width of spry menu or so on but it is still happening.If I increased the width the spry menu come to the second line.Can this be sorted out?
    Again Thanks for the reply to all.
