    Difficult to do?  No.

     

    <ul id="bottom-nav"><li><a hef="whatever.php">whatever</a></li><li class="last"><a hef="whatever2.php">whatever2</a></li></ul>

     

    With this CSS -

     

    ul#bottom-nav {

         list-style-type:none;

         overflow:hidden;

         width:70%;

         margin:0 auto;

    }

    ul#bottom-nav li {

         float:left;

         padding-right:10px;

         border-right:1px solid #FFF;

    }

    ul#bottom-nav li.last {

         border:none;

    }

    ul#bottom-nav a {

         /* your styles here */

    }

    I have tried this however there are no lines between each link. i.e straight verticle lines

    You could use a pike  |  between links

     

    <ul id="bottom-nav">

    <li><a hef="whatever.php">whatever</a></li>  | 

    <li class="last"><a hef="whatever2.php">whatever2</a></li>  |

    <li class="last"><a hef="whatever3.php">whatever3/a></li>  |

    </ul>

    There would be if you have created the border style properly.  Or as Nancy suggests use a pipe symbol "|".  I don't like doing it that way, but it works.

    PIPE not PIKE (must have fish for brains today).

    ul#bottom-nav li {

    float:left;

    padding-right:10px;

    border-right:1px solid #FFF;

    }

     

    creates a white line between <li> items on a white page.

     

    Changing the color is all that's needed

     

    ul#bottom-nav li {

    float:left;

    padding-right:10px;

    border-right:1px solid #333; /* adjust to any non-white color to suit */

    }

    White on white is one of my preferred color combos.

    Thanks,
