CSS navigation bar question

[Jim Brucker]

Ah, that's a good point (the prerelease browser).  I'll bet that's what it 
was.  I don't really have any more details about this because at the time 
(6-8 months ago) I just put that media tag in there and everything worked, 
so I didn't investigate it any further.  So now I'm just putting a feeler 
out to see if this was/is a known issue.  The "prerelease" idea sounds 
good.  And yes, if you intend your document to be printed it would be best 
to apply a "print" style as well.  Thanks!
