Each of the five primary nav items have FIVE states. And each of the 25 nav states are stored in one file. I am officially insane for spending two hours on this (most of that time was figuring out what the five states would be and rendering them in Photoshop).
The differences between them are subtle enough most people will hardly notice. But I couldn’t help myself.

kinda like mine for my site i am working on now. I have 8 nav items… and each have four distinct states. so I have 32 total states… so my css doesn’t look too far off from something like what’s above. :P002 // Rob Goodlatte // 07.17.2007 // 7:12 PM
that’s pretty crazy. And very organized too :) I nearly went insane getting all the image-replaced headlines for my site to line up correctly. I have about 2 dozen type treatments all in one big-ass gif, some with hovers, others without. Looking at your css reminds me I forgot to provide backgrounds for the active states — back to work I suppose :)003 // nateklaiber // 07.17.2007 // 7:13 PM
that isn’t too insane at all, and I must say you keep things neat and tidy.004 // Matt Robin // 07.17.2007 // 7:33 PM
If the differences are that subtle - you could drop half of them right?* ;) *Add them in later if needed.005 // Nathan Borror // 07.17.2007 // 8:14 PM
Nice one liners ;)006 // wilsonminer // 07.17.2007 // 9:42 PM
I see you haven’t changed your nested ways since the last time I looked over your shoulder and got snobby about your code style. :P007 // Jeff Croft // 07.17.2007 // 9:49 PM
Wilson, I still nest at times (but not always) — but you’ll notice I’ve adpoed your crazy one line madness at certain time, too. I can’t accurately define when those times are — sometimes it just “feels right”. :)008 // minarets // 07.18.2007 // 7:09 PM
I do one line madness when it will fit on one line, all individual lines when it won’t.009 // Jeff Croft // 07.18.2007 // 7:18 PM
@Maura: Since I believe soft wrap is the devil, I can’t really use that rule of thumb. :)
