Well beat on the one with the px then, I tried to make the area large so that odd area is hidden by the clipping on the bar, it only may appear on big zooms.

Much better but still a visible vertical bar at %125 and %225 for IE 11. ETA: Firefox seems to be doing OK as I did not notice any artifacts, etc. in it.

Thanks, I'll take a look and see if there is anything that can be done for that. This is really one of those cute CSS "tricks" that would be better off as an image given how finicky this is being across browsers/OS .. that's an IMO of course.

LOL ... frickin linktree ! I'll revert it back to em I guess, but the artifacts will probably return.

Yeah it's an annoying mess. The negative margins are also horrible when you get more than one line as the bottom line sits overlapping with the top line. And if you don't do negative margins you end up with odd double borders. And of course then there is the triangle issue. I fixed it on my forum by setting all the borders to a uniform gray including the highlighted one. Then I could use careful z-indices to overlap things appropriately. I probably could have done it more elegantly though now that I think about it. But this area really does need work.

You can use the unicode right triangle image. You still have to get it to line up right of course. But it at least can be scaled and colored easily. That would be \25b6
