Code Snippet - Making the Navstrip fluid.

[facetofcathy]

Title: Fluid Navstrip
Credit to: n/a
Base style: All
Type: Code Snippet
Best resolution: Display widths of 20em and up
Tested in: Firefox, Chrome, Opera
Features: Cells and contents of the navstrip table wrap as required by the user's display.

This is a code snippet that will work on any layout/style (barring any conflicts with other styles applied to the navstrip). The purpose is to make the navstrip wrap at larger font sizes or smaller screen widths rather than triggering a scrollbar as it does normally.

The content of each cell in the navstrip table wraps as well, and you can get below a 20em display width without any scrollbars. There is padding added, a font size in ems, and a generous line-height. The result has a little more space around the log out button, which may help with accidental log outs for some users.

There is a 1px bit of visible body background colour at the right, left and bottom edges some of the time in all tested browsers, but I see that with my background image as well.

This code should work correctly in all browsers except IE7 and lower.

Padding, font-size and line-height can be customized at will.
