Advice: best horizontal menu for a center aligned css site?

I am looking for some advice from the Milonic team and users of this forum.

I have used the horizontal menu (table bound) in a few sites recently and found it works well but I am about to try to eliminate the use of tables in the site structure of my new sites and move almost entirely to CSS.

The basic site design that I will be using will resemble many of the standard CSS center aligned and fixed width designs such as http://www.alistapart.com.

I have started to build a prototype and found that the "Positioning with screenposition & offsets" works well in IE 6 but Mozilla 1.6 and Fireworks 0.8 handle the horizontal offset differently and the menu is positioned off to the left. I suspect this is due to the differences between the browsers in how they calculate width of a css container with padding. Unfortunately I do not have a live site to show you as yet but was wondering if anyone has had any luck in using the menu in a css layout without tables.

What is the best Milonic horizontal menu to use for a center aligned css site? For browser compatibility am I better to use the table bound version or would I be better off using another type of horizontal menu such as the"Positioning with screenposition & offsets" (assuming I can get it work in Mozilla).

Thanks,

Stuart Cargin

I'm wondering if screenposition is a current bug, I'm sure it used to work in the majority of browsers.

Normally you can offset from center.
