I had a nearly identical problem in that it first evidenced itself on Dell laptops running IE. The situation is, IE, by default, scales the rendering to compensate for the higher DPI. Unfortunately, its ability to do this effectively is "not good". The problem on our site is that we are using a pixel-perfect layout that had a width of 749px. However, 749 is not evenly divisible by 2, therefore producing rounding issues. The solution was to make the layout 750px. It looks like you were heading the same direction with your solution, so I would, therefore, suggest you just keep heading down that path until you produce something that works for you. There may be other viable solutions, but I wasn't able to get anything else to work to my/our satisfaction. -Sam -- ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
