No, on IE, the default font size of pre elements, as well as tt, code, kbd, and sample elements, is about 90% of the basic font size. Things _look_ different, since typical monospace fonts have large letters: they are about the same size as letters in Times New Roman with the same font size. This probably explains the default reduction in font size. But you can easily see the effect by setting * { font-family: Courier New } and comparing pre element content with other content. To confuse us, IE drops the font size reduction if font size is set for the body element - even when it is set to 100%. This explains why many people haven't noticed the effect. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
