Unfortunately, this doesn't even make sense. If you want a consistently absolutely-sized block, then you'll need to use a fixed size font-size unit (errr...) such as px. em is a relative unit, so it doesn't make any sense to measure it other than relative to the current size. I don't think I've made any sense either, but it is Saturday :) Lea -- Lea de Groot Elysian Systems - I Understand the Internet <http://elysiansystems.com/> Web Design, Usability, Information Architecture, Search Engine Optimisation Brisbane, Australia ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
