which magically worked -- I'm just getting my head around how. I'm not sure what the following bit of code means though (specifically the backslash in 'width' (w\idth):

width: 14.4em;
w\idth: 13.9em;

Is it a hack?

Yes, this is a hack and is usually referred to as "Modified Box Model
Hack" [1], [2], and is to ensure that the code also works with IE5.x
browsers (as far as I understand).

Please know that because of the wonderful css-discuss.org and specifically because you took the trouble to look at my problem Jason I can now spend a few hours more with my kids and less in front of the computer -- which has got to make the world a better place. Thank you!

This is the best reason I have ever read, why to participate on
css-discuss ;-)
