Stretchy Nav with Side Fillers

Using fillers with nav menus but only for large resolutions

[WebmistressM]

Hello

I have a horizontal navigation bar. I created the bar to fit exactly in 800x600 viewing. I dont want the actual menu items to stretch in larger resolutions, so I created a "filler" image on both the right and left side of the menu items. In 800x600, the fillers would obviously not be needed but in the larger views, the filler would be necessary to keep my nav bar consistent with the 90% width of the rest of the page's contents (title, content, right side advert area, footer)

Any ideas?

For starters, center it horizontally by using margin:0 auto for standard browsers, as well as text-align:center on the parent element for Internet Explorer.
Second step would be to add a background image that is quite large (whatever size you have), and to set it's background position to center. The background image will be placed on a container div, which simply wraps around your centered bar.
