Thanks for the link, the answer was indeed there.
Just one slight niggle though, after doing the double float: left trick
Firefox 1.0.7 makes the height of the breadcrumb trail background colour
much greater than before. I tried to reduce it by specifying a height
but then Firefox doesn't display the text of the trail or displays it in
the menu sidebar. It displays as I want it to in IE6.
How can I make it display the same in Firefox as in IE6?

Thanks for the tip, will read the past discussions and decide
accordingly. I don't have a specific need to use XHTML, I just want to
use valid markup.

Yes it did.
Thanks again Stephen, I have done it now.

Yes, sorry Ian I should have said this in my previous post.
