Zoe, the problem seems to be related to #project-areas and #latest-news. Remove those two blocks and the problem goes away. As do the two blocks. Of the two blocks it's #project-areas which is doing the most damage. Try setting #project-areas p and #project-areas ul to display: none to see wha

Hi, I would like to make one final comment. I thought css was suppose to make life easier. (Don't get me wrong I wouldn't go back to tables for a big stick). But nothing prepared me for the browser wars that have emerged with css, the old html never gave rise to as many problems, (at least no

Hi, It's amazing how much companies spend to just make web developers lives as difficult as possible? IE has a problem in resizing, ems, and even after you've set the body tag, you will need to set it for any: tables, select, & input. Also be aware that Safari sets it's default to 14px;, whic

Re: [css-d] perfect font sizes- any sample solutions?

I use the following and all browsers seem to render font sizes to what would usually be a 13px height: body{ font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:82%; } Only IE5.x screws up rendering text in tables cells so I add the rule: table { font-size:100%; /* Needed for IE5.x */
