The first thing to learn would be to use a subject that make sense even when you don't know the content of the email. Imagine someone looking in the archives for "links jumping on hover" - it'll be so much easier to find the thread if that were the subject and not a cryptic nothing like this here. The cause is that he uses bold on hover and normal style for links. Then he uses all of those in a table without any measurements. Bold text takes more space than normal weight text, this is why the width of the table column changes when you hover over the links - and that makes the whole lot shift around. So the learning is: If you use bold for hover, fix the size of the containing element, too, else it'll expand and contract and give a jumpy impression. -- Chris Heilmann Blog: http://www.wait-till-i.com Writing: http://icant.co.uk/ Binaries: http://www.onlinetools.org/ ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
