Vertical Divider Menu

Author: Dynamic Drive

One of the most popular CSS menu interfaces around, this is a horizontal CSS menu that uses an indented vertical divider to separate each menu item. Each item can change background color when the mouse moves over it.

Demo:

The single image used:

The CSS:

<style type="text/css">

#vdividermenu ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
margin-bottom: 1em;
float: left;
font: bold 100% Tohoma;
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid #625e00;
background-color: #f9ff91;
}

* html #vdividermenu ul{ /*IE only rule, reduce menu width*/
width: 99%;
}

#vdividermenu ul li{
display: inline;
}

#vdividermenu ul li a{
float: left;
color: black;
padding: 2px 12px;
text-decoration: none;
background: transparent url(media/vertical.gif) center right no-repeat;
}

#vdividermenu ul li a:visited{
color: black;
}

#vdividermenu ul li a:hover{
color: black;
background-color: #ffe84f;
}

</style>

The HTML:

<div id="vdividermenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com" title="Home">Home</a></li>
