---Thanks, I've been using lists for navigation and this nav started as one. It's just in this case only table gave vertical alignment and adjusted to a possible change of menu elements through the cms.

while we're at it, blaw, i've got a nav that i could do as a php include or as a list. i can deal with submenu items in the list method, but when it comes to subsubmenu items, i'm getting all kerfuffled. anyone got a good script to hand?

Most of my last projects have been CSS based and to be honest they are MUCH easier to maintain update and change. There are some things like three columns and vertical align which tables did better BUT I've never found those too difficult to find a solution for.
I tried going back and building a site with tables and it was nightmare.
Now if the client wants to move the menu a "bit to the left" or something daft it's usually just a style sheet change and the entire site is updated. Doing that and using a table often would have meant re-building again, and again.
The standards thing is boring but one should always be aware of it I guess. Like the speed limit on the roads.
