Felix? ;-) Not to be too trite about it but there isn't a simple answer. It's just an issue that you always need to be aware of with HTML/CSS development. You do not know many things about how a user is going to see your site - user agent, screen resolution, viewport dimensions (i.e. maximised browser window or not), fonts installed, font preference, minimum font size, what the length of the content is going to be... There are also many techniques and approaches to this. The most basic thing you can do is to avoid setting the height of elements where you don't need to. That way if the content needs to wrap it can push other elements down. You could also consider setting dimensions in ems. That way your element will be sized in proportion with the user's font size. It can seem relatively easy to get a layout working correctly for *you* but setting it up so that your site will remain intact in a range of circumstances can take a bit trickier. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] 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/
