How do I keep this code from pushing around other content in my nav?

a:hover { font-size: 1.1em; }

My guess is, that the link ("a") tags font is smaller, so when you hover over it, the size grows, thus pushing the content off a bit. Easiest solution would be, is to give the list item ("li">) a fixed width. Currently there are none, causing it to grow and shrink.
