this is extremely wrong. An inch on a mac screen contains far less pixels (72?) than a windows pc screen (96?). The best cross-platform unit sizing for good control is 'em' -- so you will have wide variations between platforms if you use px. In addition your users cannot resize the text if they want to see it larger. > > Consider providing styles for the body text, Times is unsuitable IMHO. Times is the default style. But yes, verdana is the best font for screen use. Serif fonts(fonts with tails, like Times New Roman) are not built for the screen. > > Consider limiting the width of the body text, for ergonomic reasons. > the user can do this by themselves by resizing the browser.

The only thing I have to say on this is that most people know when you see a colored, underlined word or phrase that if clicked will take them somewhere else. But I would be open to usability studies :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
