Hi Dave, Using an elastic layout and allowing users to change font size is good, so I'd say you're on the right track, just a couple of things from glancing at your page though:
1) Your background image needs to repeat along the x axis (and can be a lot thinner) background: #fff url(/images/bg.gif) repeat-x top left; 2) Your using relative positioning to center the page, which is not well suited for elastic layouts as text can flow out of the window on the left, try using the text-align method check web-graphics.com for a good/simple example of centered elastic layouts cheers ad On 8/8/06, Dave Goodchild <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all.
