I'm having issues with this "li" that's jumping. Essentially, I have text, and on li:hover everything is shifting. I know why it's happening, but I'm having trouble figuing out the how to fix it. I've tried adjusting margins, but nada. Here's a snippet of code I'm using:
You need to post URL or whole sample so we can see where is the problem. But at glance remove li:hover from LI tag and apply it to <A> jumping affect that you see created by border 1px property.
The li's over a textured background. The transparent border seems to work fine on the browsers I have access to (FF, Safari, Opera) The whole site looks terrible on IE5 though. I tried the outline trick, but it didn't do a full border on hover. Just had to make a few padding adjustments to make it all good.
