Thanks to everyone who responded. This was really helpful! To save list 
some hits I will only reply to Georg who covered most of the main points 
people had.  (Tigdh had a really good point though about what happens 
when white text breaks out of a background - I didn't think of that.)

I have been afraid of ems but I will give it a try.  I am going to try 
the 62.5% solution mentioned at http://www.clagnut.com/blog/348.  I 
guess it is unrealistic to believe that I can expand all of my buttons 
to keep up with expanded text - or is it?  Or should I really lock it in 
and use image for text on buttons?

Since I am using background images, am I correct to assume that I will 
need to add header, body and footer background images to some elements 
in each container (I guess using 3 divs instead of just 1?)

I noticed that too.  I will pass that along to backend developer.

Thanks again for help!!!
