My thinking was to make the variable the page name, define that at the top and then the case statements determine what is supposed to happen for that particular page. I'm not sure what the switch variable would be..... switch (?pageName) ? What would the echo statments look like if the links are images, no text at all, and then how do I call that in the html nav file?

Firefox and IE6 handle widths, padding and cell-spacing differently. IE includes the cellpadding/spacing in the width attributes. width: 400px; padding: 20px; // makes a box 400px wide. Firefox treats width, padding/spacing seperately, so they would need to add up to the total width: width: 360px; padding: 20px; // also makes a box 440px wide To write that in your css file, td { width: 360px; padding: 20px; } * html td { width: 400px; padding: 20px; } Adding the * html  makes that code only visible to IE brower, so it overwrites the first style that Firefox will read. So, you may need to set width/padding for your link cells just to make sure they are the same.

Hello, I'm a n00bie with php. This is the end result that I want:  I want my navigation links to be able to detect what page it is on and then leave that link in the "on" state - oh the home page, the "home" link is in the on state. I want to do this so I only need one nav text file to use as an include. I was thinking on using switch statements (did I say that right?). I'm using images for the links, so I would need it to swap images. I'm on the edge of figuring ou how to do that but I need a push! If I use this code: [pre]<?php ?pageName = "faq"; // name of this page switch ($link) { case "icf"; echo = "images/icf_on.jpg"; break; case "products"; echo = "images/products_on.jpg"; break; case "events": echo = "images/events_on.jpg"; break; case "projects": echo = "images/projects_on.jpg"; break; case "faq": echo = "images/faq_on.jpg"; break; } ?>[/pre] then, I'm not sure what to put for the echo. What would the html nav file use to determine the correct link to leave "on"? Like I said, I'm new at this and I've gotten myself confused. I know someone can help me - thank! Sherill
