Like so many things, Hysterical Raisins; and the vaguely prune-like object in this instance is Netscape 4.x (and a few other "CSS Challenged" browsers). The navbar started out as a list and then eventually morphed into it's current state as more and more compatibility crutches were added. The current development version returns to the list model for this due to one simple fact; we now hide all CSS from Netscape 4.x. The current release version doesn't do this simply because there are far far too many interlocking compatibility issues involved that I don't want to start fiddling with in a stable release series. -- Now Playing "Given the Dog a Bone" by "AC/DC"", from the album "Back In Black".
