Hi Nanna, Don't set the font-size in an a element, stick em in at block level (it makes the cascade easier to control).
Sounds to me like you are having inheritance issues which you've compensated visually for in Firefox, then when you run IE they're not inherited correctly (no surprise there then).

Thanks for replying so fast, it didn't work though. I have assigned each element in my menu a class either: a.menu {background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #0066CC; text-align: left; text-decoration: bold; font-family: arial; padding-left: 3px; font-size: 0.85em; text-align: left} or a.menu2 {font-family: arial; color: #0066CC; font-size: 0.70em;text-align: left; background-color: #FFFFFF; padding-left: 15px; text-decoration: underline} (not as tedious as it sounds as I'm using PHP to generate the menu). Maybe IE is overruling my rules and using the standard settings for links instead? - Nanna ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
