Sounds a bit complicated, then having to get rid of the naturally
forming double border eh? I will look at this and there's that
border collapse business I have never looked into...
It seems ok with this right border and last-child device... at
least in my FF and other Mac browsers... not tested _all_ of them
though...
Does Win IE understand last-child? (God, I do hope there is such
a thing as "last child" and it is not just working by magic. I am
too frightened to look up the specs. I don't mean to demean any
human by such failure, honest, cross my heart...
Formerly, I would do this type of nav strip with the lowdown
communistic presentational device of | It worked well
and had the rather nice advantage of scalling with the font...
Stop!
I just realised I could scale the border with an em setting
rather than a px. Forget all the above... Why not just delete it?
Because then I would need to find another technique to tease the
over serious minded :)
