Scott, I meant that I wanted to know the source of the statement "em is better than % because of IE goof-ups." I don't know this to be true, so if you can tell us where you heard this from we can take a look and see if they have wrong information, know something we don't know, or if you just misunderstood them. Incidentally, your layout appears just fine in IE. The text looks a little goofy and there is extra space between the links, but no problems with the layout itself. Also, please remember to trim out any material from the previous message to which you are not directly replying. Thanks, Zoe -- Zoe M.
