rollover list

Comments: Rollovers can be achieved by converting the a elements within the list to blocks using display: block; and swapping background colors using the a:hover pseudo-class

 

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul id="navlist">
<li id="active"><a href="#" id="current">Item one</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item two</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item three</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item four</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item five</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
