We have the expression: "It is like a wheelbarrow full of frogs: just as you have put back the jumped out frog, five other ones are jumping out". =-O To tackle the long line problem, perhaps an idea (don't know it is possible in combination with the rest of the frogs): - Give the .wrapper-div a width in em's, so all clientside font sizing is allowed, and also at big resulutions the line-length is limited. - Then there is no need anymore to force the .master-form in a min-width/max-width. - And more: ... the globe isn't cut off at the right side anymore!

francky ps: Is it a rock hard condition that everything should work (perfectly) without javascript? Otherwise it should be possible to implement an AvailableWidth-sniffer, and to redirect to an appriopriate stylesheet for the most used resolutions; and an AvailableHeight-sniffer for the determination of the heights. The realist in me tells: around 90% has js turned on [1] ;-) , but I don't know the "asking-to-confirm" - rules in XP (the yellowish popup-taskbar), so that can be pretty annoying though ...
