The content determines height. No scroll-box is needed. If the text is running so deep that you need more vertical space, then you need a second page as a css solution (or revert to a javascript solution), rather than a scroll box. Users /can/ re-size pixel based fonts in IE by ignoring your font-sizes (accessibility mode). It is easier to give in to the fact that users control the Web: feed only percent based fonts (or percent on the body with em on selectors). These are some 2-col layouts you may want to consider: --<http://www.alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins/> (enclose it as is within a fixed width container) --<http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/> (number 38 at bottom of page) -- see also the wiki (address below) for 2 col float layouts Best, ~dL
