/*

Here's a demo stylesheet used to format a menu and its content.
Feel free to alter the menu layout however you want. All you have to do 
is ensure the script
has the correct CSS property name (like 'visibility' or 'display') that 
you want it to change.

One good resource for UL/LI formatting: 
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/
Consult your favourite CSS reference for editing fonts/borders/etc.

Otherwise, even if you're not very experienced at CSS, you can just go 
through and change
the #RGB border/background colours where suitable to customise for your 
site!

/*
 If you want per-item background images in your menu items, here's how 
to do it.
 1) Assign a unique ID tag to each link in your menu, like so: <a 
id="xyz" href="#">
 2) Copy and paste these next lines for each link you want to have an 
image:
    #left_navigation_parent a#xyz {
      background-image: url(out.gif);
    }
    #left_navigation_parent a#xyz:hover, #left_navigation_parent a.highlighted#xyz, #left_navigation_parent 
a:focus {
     background-image: url(over.gif);
    }

tag contents. */
