Before I inserted the red buttons, the space between the three links was the same. After inserting the buttons, I was able to position the buttons where I wanted them with CSS but you can see the outline of the original HTML location for the one on the right. If I click on the left button, you can see that same outline just above and a hair to the left of the button. Otherwise the buttons work great.

So how can you get rid of this 'ghost' outline from the HTML placement of the buttons. Not only does it look less than great when you click a button but it keeps that original symmetry out of synch between the other links ?

Thanks,
Chris

I have relocated the HTML for the buttons to another location on the page and placed them with CSS so that symmetrical thing with the page links looking right has been addressed. Now just that nuisance box outline of the button that appears when the button is depressed elsewhere on the page.

Wow - pretty slick. Works great - thank you Eric...
