That indicates that (as I commented elsewhere in this thread) the page was designed for a very specific resolution, window size, and font size. On that subject, see <http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/abdesign2.html#screensize>, <http://www.coedu.usf.edu/it/resources/WWWDESG_1.htm#Page>, and <http://wwwhost.cc.utexas.edu/web/guidelines/pagesize.html>. -- David E.
