What will that achieve? Lynx is a browser, and it will tell if your pages/sites are constructed in such a way that they _can be used_ at the most basic level, which is a must when it comes to usability - and anything else in web design. No pages/sites can be "made to work" with css and/or javascript - only make them look and work better once the basics are in place. If the basics are missing, then we're only "painting the dead" with all the other stuff. That's what you have done, IMO. You can test _your_ pages/sites in Lynxview... <http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.html> ...and there you will find where to download the browser also - in case you need it. >>> If you clock on "who" on the left nav you can see 4 different >>> pages: > > >>> Each of these pages has a heading above the content in a teal all >>> caps font.

Parts of IE's default is to ignore dimensions and calculate line-height in its own unique way. I know only too well that it doesn't make sense, but there isn't all that much that makes sense in IE. Now, you have not applied /complete styles/ to the elements you have problems with. Try doing that first, and we'll help you if any senseless bugs are still disturbing it - in IE. Still no way to make it work in _my_ Firefox, Opera or IE, since you have locked all (existing) text inside "fix sized" containers. Result: parts of the text is hidden from view, so I *have to* use Lynx (or rather Opera's user-styles) to be able to read what it says... regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
