Hi Tim, I see several problems in Opera and Firefox too: - My Win xp laptop is set to 120 DPI - a common factory setting for hi-def screens. This makes text larger in Opera, as well as for IE unless you use pixels. In any case, your visitors can change text size using various browser options. All these situations break the page, one way or another. - The drop-down menu is unusable for keyboard users. - Drop-downs break to two lines when text is larger. Links on the second line are unreachable. - There are many links on the page that do not look like links. I found them by tabbing through them :) - Heights in pixels won't reliably contain text. - I did not try resizing the window, but I don't think many visitors spend much time doing that. I suggest you make up reduced cases of each problem area and post them to the list with a description of the problem you are having. You may well find that a reduced case will reveal the solution anyway, so it's a worthwhile effort. This is just my opinion, not intended to discourage you. Cordially, David -- ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
