I have created a navbar using 3 files below:
http://forum.full90mins.com/full90mins/misc/navleft.gif http://forum.full90mins.com/full90mins/misc/nav_mid.gif http://forum.full90mins.com/full90mins/misc/navright.gif
Now I want to put them all together making the nav mid expandable to 100% and have text inside the navbar. I have put it all together but I have a little problem, I have a border around the text and I don't want that.
This is how it looks now:

Here is the code to the header and thinks they can make it better to use or can help in any way to get this working then by all means you can change the code.

The second nav bar will be so I can add aditional links to it,

I think lines 10 - 12 are (at least part of) your problem. You have put the next nested table directly into a row (without a cell). I don't think you need that second table at all.

I will try to examine this further later today.
