It ends up looking like this:

The background (the dark gray) is supposed to stretch to be 960px while the links stay to the left.

I know I’m forgetting something but I can’t just figure it out. Help!

The width does stretch to 960px, you don’t have a background defined nor a height.

Add:


height: 32px;
background: #464646;

To:


ul.MenuBarHorizontal {

Tested and confirmed it worked.

I knew I was forgetting something! Thanks!

It’s amazing how simple of a mistake it was, though…

No worries, this happens a lot :). I advise using firebug / web developer for debugging.

Adding a height can break the layout, for example, when someone has their fonts set bigger than normal. A better option would be:

ul.MenuBarHorizontal {
  [COLOR="#FF0000"]overflow:hidden;[/COLOR]
  background: #464646;
}
