Is it possible to space text links evenly? In this image I have made the background of each container red for easier viewing. Each red block is evenly spaced, but when the red is turned off, each word looks unevenly spaced since each word is a different length. Is there any way to remedy this?



My CSS:


* { padding: 0; margin: 0; }

body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 80%;
line-height: 1.2em;
background-color:#666;
}
#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 820px;
border: 1px solid #333;
background-color:#fff;
overflow:hidden;
height:100%;
}
#header {
width: 822px;
float: left;
padding: 10px;
height: 116px;
margin: 0;
background:url(header.jpg) no-repeat;
}
#leftcolumn {
color: #666;
background:url(leftslice.jpg) no-repeat;
margin: 0;
padding: 10px 30px 10px 30px;
min-height: 384px;
width: 198px;
float: left;
}
#rightcolumn {
color: #666;
float: left;
background:url(rightslice.jpg) repeat-x;
margin: 0;
padding: 10px 30px 10px 30px;
min-height: 384px;
width: 502px;
display: inline;
}
#footer {
width: 820px;
height:100%;
clear: both;
color: #333;
background-color:#c4bca4;
font-size: 85%;
line-height: 1.2em;
border-top: 1px solid #333;
}
#footerleft {
width: 198px;
padding: 10px 30px 10px 30px;
float: left;
height:100%
background-color:#c4bca4;
}
#footerright {
width: 502px;
padding: 10px 30px 10px 30px;
float:left;
height:100%
background-color:#c4bca4;
}
#footer a{
text-decoration:none;
color:#84693b;
font-weight:bold;
}
#footer a:hover,#footer a:active {
text-decoration:none;
color:#ffffff;
font-weight:bold;
}
ul#menu {
list-style:none;
padding-left:290px;
width:100%;
text-align:center;
}
ul#menu li {
margin:0px; padding:0px;
list-style:none;
font-size:12pt;
line-height:1em;
display:inline;
}
ul#menu li a {
display:block;
text-align:center;
width:12%;
float:left;
margin-top:102px;
margin-right:20px;
color:#ffffff;
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration:none;
padding:0 0 0 0;
background-color:red;
}
ul#menu a:hover,#footer a:active {
text-decoration:none;
color:#666;
font-weight:bold;
}

left-padding the LI tag usually works for me.

thanks
