I tweaked everything and it's turning out to be exactly like how I want it but the background color seems to end where the last letter is and I can't get it to span across properly.
Appreciate if you can help me
Hi Link,
it's look great.. do you combine with another css/plugins or tweak the code manually?
so which is the problem? i can see the white border is not placed properly when sub menu is hovered. but I am not sure can help you.
I can't figure out why I have the large gaps in the verticle menu bar on IE8. Looks fine in Firefox and Safari
