No matter how big I make the window...and I have a 17" Apple screen...I still see about 1/4" of scrolling space on both scroll bars. Just can't open that window up enough to eliminate scroll bars. In Firefox, it's possible to eliminate the vertical scrollbar, but the horizontal scrollbar hangs on with about 1/8" of movement. Not sure why, I'm not that well versed yet in CSS, but I'm sure that the real CSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] folks can help.

First: tidy up the source code removing all the unwanted spaces. Second: put at least one of the graphics as a backgfround iamge to the paragraph.

[css-d] 2 spacing questions in IE
This is the URL in question: http://www.language-works.com/swimdesign/template-public-4.htm I've been fiddling with numbers all night and am stymied by the following spacing problems: (1) I'm trying to eliminate the white space between the masthead graphic and the blue drop down menu bar under it. The top nav is 93px high, and I start the blue nav bar at 94 (2) I'm wondering why the leading is not consistent in the quote from the WSJ - the first line squishes the lines together more. I played with a different sized quote mark and different line-height defs, and got the result that the leading between lines 2 and 3 now were inconsistent http://www.language-works.com/swimdesign/template-public-4a.htm weird! Line height is defined at 34px and the quote graphic is 24px high. Any thoughts most appreciated.
