Regarding that, I'll also appreciate any comments on > using keywords for fontsize as opposed to 'em'. All layout-methods one becomes comfortable with are mostly trouble-free. It's "all those other stupid methods" one can't get to work :-) This 'conditional elastic' is closest to your 1:, I think... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/moa_12c.html> It can take any number of columns (theoretically), and make them appear equal height in _most_ browsers - all new ones at least. Fixed, elastic, em-based, fluid or combined. Just restyle the main wrapper and you get whichever combination you want. It can also make IE6 behave in any combination. I think it is about as trouble-free as any layout around, but then again: I put together the darn "thing", so I may not be objective ;-) I've personally found the percentage/em font-sizing to be most cross-browser reliable. In the 'conditional elastic' above you will have to avoid starting on html/body though. 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/
