Ask yourself - is this the most important content on the page? If so it rates a setting. You may decide that the company name and slogan rate a and the first content heading both rate as . You can even style them differently using CSS. IMHO it is a personal preference, there is no "definitive" answer that is always correct. -- Regards, Steve Bathurst Computer Solutions URL: www.bathurstcomputers.com.au e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: 0407 224 251 _ ...

The layout issues occur across all browsers. I tend to agree with David that a "clean sheet" approach is best, get rid of tables except for tabular data. IMHO there is not a better starting point than the layout guides from Thierry Koblentz at TJKDesign: http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/one_html_markup_many_css_layouts.asp I think the layout you are looking for is CSS Layout 8: http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/liquid/8.asp Whilst looking at the source code I also noticed that you started your headings at Level 4 (h4). Headings should start at Level 1 (h1) and CSS should be used to create the "right" size and style. This is the basis of semantic markup and CSS. I know this is really hard to start with but keep trying and it becomes very easy to quickly layout and construct sites as your skills with CSS improve. Good luck and I hope you continue with the CSS journey! -- Regards, Steve Bathurst Computer Solutions URL: www.bathurstcomputers.com.au e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: 0407 224 251 _ ...

IMHO, the only reason that the double spacing appears in US based material is because of the standard font point size used in the US. Standard font sizes used in the rest of the world are larger and more easily read than the dense 10 pt preferred in the US. As Michael has correctly pointed out the illusion of a second space in "hot metal" typesetting was the positioning of the full stop (and other punctuation if I remember correctly from my print estimator days) towards the left of the metal slug and not central like all the other characters. Heavy text sites should be encouraged to use slightly larger fonts and more white space to make the page/screen more readable. Quality over quantity always wins :-) -- Regards, Steve Bathurst Computer Solutions URL: www.bathurstcomputers.com.au e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: 0407 224 251 _ ... (0)> ... / / \ .. / / . ) ..
