Wide Navbar
 

How would I go about making a navbar have a "thick gradient around it"?

and then have the navbar stretch across the page?

Edit: Thanks

If the navbar is all enclosed in a table, can't you just put a border on the table and make it a couple of pixels wide?

But I know it is possible to just make the navbar expand -----> <-----

any ideas?

You would have to break the main table apart and have the navbar in its own table.

and how can this be done?

I just posted one. I really can't say without having a better idea of what you want. To me, there is a difference between having a 'wide' navbar and having a 'thick gradient around it'. A picture might help. And probably a link to the site to see the code.

Draw a picture of it. This is all in the header code pretty simple table modifications.

I can try to find a picture but okay erm lets break this up :)

How would I go about doing the gradient around it?

Make a custom class, define your settings, make sure you td class="navpanel" and then your good!

.navpanel
{
background: #E4E7F5 url(../../images/gradients/gradient_panel.gif) repeat-x top left;
color: #000000;
padding: 10px;
border: 2px outset;

Don't forget the ending parenthesis for the class, }, Boosted Panda. :)
