tedd wrote: http://sperling.com/david/ My em sizing of the image fixed the zoom problem reported with my browser. :-) Yes, and may be well suited for an 'em-sized' layout. Use that solution in that kind of layouts, if you like. That particular layout is /designed/ to adjust to the available window-width - within a range from below 600px to 60em. That's 'em-guided', *not* 'em-sized'. Run it in IE/Mac and it'll become 'em-sized' (and should work better now since David has hidden the things IE/Mac can't handle). Your em sizing will only make the image be chopped off earlier if font-resizing is applied on a narrow window - for example when the available screen-area doesn't allow the layout to grow endlessly. I have a screen-width of 3800px available, so no problems at my end. The norm is somewhat narrower screens, and browser windows. So no matter what em-values you set on images, they'll normally end up worse than with original size if font-resizing is applied, because they'll be fighting the layout itself. The solution is to let images adjust to the layout _when_ needed. Good browsers solves that by letting us use regular CSS properties to resize images to fit the layout when needed. Bad browsers and old ones can't handle those regular CSS properties, but they are also better off with original-sized images in that particular layout. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
