Hi Guys,
I apologise if I have asked this before (dont think I have).
Please have a look at this Nav for me and tell me what would cause this long menu name to ignore the padding rule in my css.

[Solved] Long menu names do not align
Please, please. please;
No DTD!!!
Errors in markup!!
<!----------------------> is not allowed it's illegal syntax
Table layouts are a shame but all we can do is offer encouragement not to use them.
Can you fix up the first two points and then we can help.
Hugo.
Edit/ in fact skynac we discussed the DTD issue in another earlier post so there's no excuse really, I even supplied one for you to use :?

(Ok...I have read through your DTD page at A List Apart and made some sense of it...Can I make a suggestion though? Anyone who is new to any XHTML or HTML will not understand what DTD to use because it doesn't explain what all those versions do...)
So now I have added a transitional DTD (because I understand this as a transition from HTML to XHTML?) but it's still not working.
I've also now tried the LOOSE DTD you sent me Hugo but that aint working either... :?
I have only added to it to the index page right now cause I dont want to duplicate until it works...
Thanks again

I'll take a crack at this one.
It looks like your line of text carries the class "a.subMenu":
a.subMenu {padding: 0 0 0 10px;}
Because the text is an inline element the padding only appears in front of the first character. You might try adding "diplay: block;" to your class definition. This should force the text to behave as a box.
Disclaimer: I'm pretty new to this myself, you might want to wait for verification from someone better qualified.
