Ron, Further to my message below I was hoping you might respond as I am
stuck `up the creek and no paddle'.. Otherwise I could start a new thread.
Posted 22/01/2008 01:00
I was wondering about trying some negative padding where the spacing is
still wider that I would like. But I've made alterations and its
getting there slowly.
Yes I take your point about the paths to the _theme css files. But I
plead `Not guilty M'Lud' as they are written by FrontPage. I have
changed the theme to Arctic and cleared out the unwanted themes using
the tool in Reports. The navigation bar links display correctly in
Design view and pre-viewing in my browser. But on-line they are in
default mode and the CSS Error Console is on overtime! I am wondering
if this behaviour is the result of how I have constructed and am using
my DWT? Perhaps Rob Giordano has a point?
