Fine. Correct nesting wasn't one of the things I looked for, and the validator rarely ever pick up such design-flaws. Negative margins on floats are useful, but no need to use them "just for the fun of it" - unless that's what you want :-) > so i guess that should avoid me from further problems don't u think? > sorry for the trouble I've caused :P No trouble at my end - and we got the opportunity to clear up some misunderstandings about floats, negative margins and Internet Explorer. >> - All my browsers show a lot of vertical overlapping of elements - >> making the page pretty unreadable.

You said it :-) Note: I set 'minimum font size = 14px' in all browsers that have that option - which means: all major ones, and IE/win is most often set to 'ignore font size' - resulting in 16px font size for most text. I can't easily read text smaller than that on my screens. I design for 200% font-resizing, or 32px 'minimum font size', in case someone needs even larger text. You should try that. >> FYI: I use a tuned version of HTML Tidy to "clean up" any >> unnecessary spacing, indentation and whatever in the source-code, >> which gives me a pretty small file-size without any compression. > is it available for public use :D I think so... <http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/> <http://tidy.sourceforge.net/> ...but you'll have to tune it yourself... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_1_07.html> ...if you want the uncompressed source-code to be as compact as the one behind my pages. Your latest revision is 12548 bytes file size, while a run through my "tuned" Tidy gave me a file size of 11307 bytes - uncompressed. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
