In what browser(s) are you seeing the jump. I didn't see it in firefox 1.5 on my mac. There are 3 validation errors in the html, one of which is in the doctype. You will want to fix those to get more consistent behavior across browsers. <http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http:// www.blueowlmassage.com/dev/clients_forms.php> There is an error in the css that is causing firefox to ignore one of your hover rules. There is an error in the css which is causing firefox to ignore a bit of it. You need to remove the extra comma. #head a:hover, { text-decoration:none; border: 0; } In general, if you use a border on hover it is best to set it so it doesn't take up more space hovered than not. Something like, a { padding-bottom: 2px; } a:hover { padding-bottom: 0; border-bottom: 2px dotted #ffe7be; } hth -- Roger Roelofs "Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns!" ~Allison Gappa Bottke ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
