      Hi,
      So I’ve consolidated so much that I have room on the nav bar. I’d like to use it to gain separation of the ‘buttons’. If I could get even a 1-2px vertical line to show a distinction between buttons, that would be neat. Currently, when I’m in one page and select an adjourning button, I windup with one long red button with 2 titles.

      Thanx, Tom

        You can add your border to – .menu li near line 365 in your css.

          Hi Eric from a toasty Tokyo,

          Thanx for your response. OK so here’s an admission after all this time learning how to adjust my CSS. When you or Wes give me some directions along with “near line 365 in your css.” I actually don’t know how to find line 365…and always felt foolish asking. So today, as usual, I go down the CSS listings searching for .menu li, and I discover a bunch of items that begin with .menu li and I don’t know which one is the right one to even begin adjusting. I don’t know what CSS code I should enter figuring the info that’s there will guide me. But today i came up empty handed/headed. Sorry bout that.

          Can you please…really please, tell which ‘.menu li’ I should adjust (and maybe how to locate it) and what CSS code should I enter to get the border or separation you wrote about. 3X’s thanx.

          Tom

            It’s on line 365 in your style.css file. Are you not using a program to edit your files? If not, I highly recommend that you do, then it will be easier to locate things like this when someone tells you what line a piece of code is on. I would use FTP and a CSS editing program. If you need to learn how to set that up you can search online for tutorials.

            Other than that you would have to search your css file for the .menu li code. Control + F if you’re on PC, Command + F if you’re on Mac

            .menu li {
    border-top: 1px solid #000;
}

              Morning Eric,

              Thanx for taking the time to educate me a bit. I used the cmnd-F and voila! there it was. entered the code, then played around with color and finally settled on this: border: 1px solid #000; which also gave me side-borders. Perfect solution. I will investigate css editing programs as you suggested.

              Thanx again Eric.

              Tom
