Descendants get the computed line-height rather than the proportion. Number for line-height gives the proportion to descendants as well. The URL in the post you replied to http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/IE/line-heightIE.html was created precisely to demonstrate that problem, as was its sister page that uses pt instead of px for line-height: http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/IE/line-heightIEpt.html http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/tmp/Images/line-height-IE.gif shows the former in IE6 on W98 @ 120 DPI with author font styles and sizes disallowed. If the IE font size is increased, the problem gets worse. -- "Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made." John 1:3 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
