Wire Frame Menu

Author: Dynamic Drive

This is a vertical CSS menu with a simple frame around the menu items. It's "minimalist" style allows you to customize its style further as you see fit.

Demo:

The CSS:

<style type="text/css">

.wireframemenu{
border: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
background-color: white;
border-bottom-width: 0;
width: 170px;
}

* html .wireframemenu{ /*IE only rule. Original menu width minus all left/right paddings */
width: 164px;
}

.wireframemenu ul{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}

.wireframemenu a{
font: bold 13px Verdana;
padding: 4px 3px;
display: block;
width: 100%; /*Define width for IE6's sake*/
color: #595959;
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
}

.wireframemenu a:visited{
color: #595959;
}

html>body .wireframemenu a{ /*Non IE rule*/
width: auto;
}

.wireframemenu a:hover{
background-color: #F8FBBD;
color: black;
}

</style>

The HTML:

<div class="wireframemenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/">Dynamic Drive</a></li>

Its great,
I wanted to put an image just at the bottom as menu ends. In opera and ffx it shows exactly what I want, but in IE it shows one line space in between the menus bottom border and the image.

this is the code:
---------------------------------------------------
<div class="wireframemenu">
<ul>
<li>opt1</li>
<li>opt2</li></ul>
</div>
menubottom.gif
------------------------------------------------
