    <p>I've made a horizontal menu using a list. I'm trying to get each <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> to appear as a horizontal rectangle with wedges snipped out of its sides - <code>snip&gt; &lt;snip</code> - and text centered horizontally and vertically.</p> <p>I thought I could accomplish this by giving the <code>&lt;li&gt;</code>'s a line-height of 0, making the borders thick, and making the right and left border transparent, but it behaves like there's still .4em of line height or something.</p> <p>A note about the attached code: I have nothing resembling a formal education, so I expect there to be some serious holes in my method and code. I am absolutely willing to take all input in the interest of making my code semantic, clean, and simple.</p> <p>Thanks for your help!</p> <pre><code>#CAPMenu li { float:left; width:95px; border-top: 20px solid #4672A3; border-bottom: 20px solid #4672A3; border-left: 20px solid transparent; border-right: 20px solid transparent; line-height:0em; } &lt;div id="CAPMenu"&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Idea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Concept&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Feasability&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Development&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Scale Up&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Launch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Post Launch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COHave you tried `height:0` instead of `line-height:0em;`?

    2. COjsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/b5JGD/ @Pete: I don't think a "formal education" would help you with this actually. This isn't the sort of thing they would teach, unless perhaps you went to an art/design school. Otherwise, this wouldn't be considered sciencey enough to teach.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
