Modern Bricks Menu

Author: Dynamic Drive

This is a modern looking, imageless horizontal menu. The selected menu item merges with the band below it to help it stand out even more. As mentioned, the menu uses no images, making customization a breeze.

Demo:

The CSS:

<style type="text/css">

#modernbricksmenu{
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
background: transparent;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family: inherit;
}

#modernbricksmenu ul{
font: bold 11px Arial;
margin:0;
margin-left: 40px; /*margin between first menu item and left browser edge*/
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}

#modernbricksmenu li{
display: inline;
margin: 0 2px 0 0;
padding: 0;
text-transform:uppercase;
}

#modernbricksmenu a{
float: left;
display: block;

margin: 0 1px 0 0; /*Margin between each menu item*/
padding: 5px 10px;
text-decoration: none;

border-bottom: 1px solid white;
}
