Default horizontal link bar not showing correctly in Firefox or Opera


I have a horizontal link bar (text) inside a table. It wraps to several lines
in Internet Explorer, but when I view it in Mozilla Firefox or Opera, it
doesn't wrap but goes across and off the edge of the page so you have to use
the horizontal scroll bar to see the whole thing. Can this be fixed?

Yes, it's a church site: http://www.joyfellowship.bc.ca.

I have a vertical link bar on the left and the horizontal text link bar on
the bottom of each page, which is the one that looks weird in the other
browsers.

Sorry about the double post, by the way -- when I posted it said that the
message didn't post successfully. If there's a way of deleting the second
one, please do so. Thank you!

A snippet from the nav bar:
<nobr><a href="...>Our History</A></nobr> • <nobr>

Internet Explorer will word wrap on the • (bullet character),
treating this as a soft character where text can be broken.
Unfortunately, IE is broken in this respect, and it should not wrap at
all. The other browsers display correctly, though not as you would
wish.

This style of navigation bar is not suitable for a long string of links,
unless you can restrict your users to Internet Explorer.

Thanks - I'll just do my own link bar manually so it'll look like I want it.
