the class "nav" is only applicable to links.

you can create a different class for the selected nav bar item (maybe "navsel"?) that has to have the same setting as for "nav" apart from the "color":

.navsel { font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: smaller; color: #000000; }

the title "xml.apache.org" on the home page can be replaced by "Welcome", to follow the nav bar. this, after all, is the page title (talking of which, <TITLE></TITLE> is missing...), so "News", "Mission", "Guidelines", etc... we're using text to make the handling simpler and to not rely on images.

what I've used in other projects is PHP, setting variables for each page that indicate primary, secondary, etc..., levels and print the path accordingly, but I don't know if that's a route you may want to consider. I'm sorry I don't have other suggestions, although dropping the "xml.apache.org > news" bit won't affect the overall design.

I've checked it with NC4.7 on Mac and Win: the fonts are small, but still readable, better than when I tried imposing sizes in pt or px. is it unreadable on yours?
