Note the link above points to the old CSS 2.0 text. What is implemented by current browsers is the CSS 2.1 text, linked to in my previous post. For more on width, read CSS2.1:10.2 (and subsequent 10.3) <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#the-width-property> Philippe --- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
