Hi,

Av been following this guide http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suck...le/bones1.html

I have followed everything and got it the way I want except the main links are too far apart. am not sure how to make them closer..

www.leehughes.co.uk

body {
    font-family: arial, helvetica, serif;
}

#nav, #nav ul { /* all lists */
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    list-style: none;
    line-height: 1;
}

#nav a {
    display: block;
    width: 10em;
}

#nav li { /* all list items */
    float: right;
    width: 10em; /* width needed or else Opera goes nuts */
}

#nav li ul { /* second-level lists */
    position: absolute;
    background: black;
    width: 10em;
    left: -999em; /* using left instead of display to hide menus because display: none isn't read by screen readers */
}

#nav li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */
    left: auto;
}

#content {
    clear: left;
    color: #ccc;
}

Is there also a way to space out the links in the drop down menus?

Thanks

List looks fine in terms of spacing nevertheless;

edit the red text; change it to 8em or something
#nav li { /* all list items */
    float: right;
    width: 10em; /* width needed or else Opera goes nuts */

as for spacing out second level items (I'm assuming spacing in terms of height)

#nav li ul { /* second-level lists */
    position: absolute;
    background: black;
    width: 10em;
    left: -999em; /* using left instead of display to hide menus because display: none isn't read by screen readers */

add

padding-top: **px;

replacing ** with a value of your choice, try maybe 3px..
