Wickham, thanks so much for your advice and the code! - I've tried it and it works perfectly!
Is there also a way how to define a selected link (i.e. when people click on "contact us", for example, I'd like to have this link of the menu highlighted or in a different color). Or, when you have a language selection, how can I make the selected language's link look selected? I've tried #menu1 a:selected { color: red; } but it doesn't do anything so I guess that's not the way...
Thank you again!
Milly
