Hi Bob,
Can anyone help out with this?
Maybe IE does't like the combination of bold and normal. You write:
h6:first-letter {
color : #333;
font: bold normal 218% Times New Roman, Times, serif;
}
You should decide, if it should be bold or normal :-)
This would be nearly the

Thanks Jens, but the 'normal' is supposed to mean 'not oblique' (ie,
the rest of the line is defined in h6 as font : bold oblique etc) I
agree, the 'bold normal' does seem strange, but it's how topstyle pro
converts a list of separate qualifiers . . .so you could have font :
normal normal
Well that certainly works Ingo - thank you!

In that case, perhaps using an EM size would be more effective than a
percentage. It would still be resizable for accessibility, but it might
not throw 5.5 for a loop...

Hi Bob,
Nathans mail brought me to the idea, that IE5.5 has a problem with your
basic font-definition. IE is known to have a problem, if you style body
with em. So the best way, we had this a few days ago, is to style with
percent if you want the IE-users to be able to resize the page.
Your
Thanks to all who contributed. I have now returned to good old reliable
pixels! Doing that, plus spelling out the declaration as individual
statements:
h6:first-letter {
color : #80;
font-weight : bold;
font-style : normal;
font-size : 34px;
font-family : Times New Roman,

Hi lea
Thanks, I hadn't tried the 100% before. I remember seeing it ages ago. It's
a large sprite and I like to leave plenty of white space between icons to
avoid a stray icon showing up where it shouldn't. Hopefully, I can mix 100%
with a pixel measurement to go down 999px.

Ted,
Is text involved at all in this link? If so, I would suggest using 100%
and adding transparent pixels to the right of the image to bump it
away from anything on that side. Remember, text sizes can change with
browser/user preferences, so if you assign a background to be 999px from

There has been a lot of good input here, so thanks for bringing it up and

2. Please use a subject line
