How do I adjust the width of the navBar?
Here's the code:

<div id="navBar">
<div id="search"><form action="#">
<label>search</label>
<input name="searchFor" type="text" size="17">
<input name="goButton" type="submit" value="go">
</form>
</div>
<div id="SectionLinks">
<h3 class="style22"><strong>The Media Section</strong></h3>
<ul class="style73">
<li><a href="#">Photos</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Videos</a></li>
<li><a href="#">News Articles </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Tail # History </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Guest Book</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Guest Log</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sound Files</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="SectionLinks">
<h3 class="style22"><strong>Mission Planning</strong></h3>
<ul class="style73">
<li><a href="#">Weather</a></li>
<li><a href="#">NOTAMS</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Time Hack </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Frag Sheet </a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="SectionLinks">
<h3 class="style22"><strong>Password Protected</strong></h3>
<ul class="style73">
<li><a href="#">Pilot Lineage </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Limits Sheet (M) </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Limits Sheet (J) </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Weight & Balance </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Radar Paper</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="SectionLinks">
<h3 class="style22"><strong>Admin Section</strong></h3>
<ul class="style73">
<li><a href="#">TDY Center </a></li>
<li><a href="#">PCS Help </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Forms</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Official Sites</a></li>
<li><a href="#"> Unofficial Sites</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

<p><span class="style73">Order your <a href="Media/Pictures/Paveart/Pavedecal.JPG">PaveDecal</a><br>

is all of this meant to be vertical on the sides, or horizontal at the top or bottom?

When I paste your code into Dreamweaver, it is all vertical.

I ask, because I always considered a navbar as a horizontal bar.

anyway, I suppose the easiest thing, to keep everything looking the same would be to introduce table, tr and td tags to beginning and end; specifying width in the table tag.

Personally, i wouldn't have created it all using div and p tags

<table width="200"><tr><td><div id="navBar">
<div id="search"><form action="#">
<label>search</label>
<input name="searchFor" type="text" size="17">
<input name="goButton" type="submit" value="go">
</form>
</div>
<div id="SectionLinks">
<h3 class="style22"><strong>The Media Section</strong></h3>
<ul class="style73">
<li><a href="#">Photos</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Videos</a></li>
<li><a href="#">News Articles </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Tail # History </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Guest Book</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Guest Log</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sound Files</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="SectionLinks">
<h3 class="style22"><strong>Mission Planning</strong></h3>
<ul class="style73">
<li><a href="#">Weather</a></li>
<li><a href="#">NOTAMS</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Time Hack </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Frag Sheet </a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="SectionLinks">
<h3 class="style22"><strong>Password Protected</strong></h3>
<ul class="style73">
<li><a href="#">Pilot Lineage </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Limits Sheet (M) </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Limits Sheet (J) </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Weight & Balance </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Radar Paper</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="SectionLinks">
<h3 class="style22"><strong>Admin Section</strong></h3>
<ul class="style73">
<li><a href="#">TDY Center </a></li>
<li><a href="#">PCS Help </a></li>
<li><a href="#">Forms</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Official Sites</a></li>
<li><a href="#"> Unofficial Sites</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

<p><span class="style73">Order your <a href="Media/Pictures/Paveart/Pavedecal.JPG">PaveDecal</a><br>

</tr></td></table>

you can also set width and height to div tags such as <div align="right" width="100" height ="450"></div>
