I realize that the design breaks at the largest text-size. Probably I should study your site's code to see how you accommodated expansion of the width of the page when larger type sizes are chosen. Alternately, I may take the two photos across the bottom of the page, shrink them to fit under the right-hand column, and just have a simple nav-bar under the right-hand column and let the left column text expand down unencumbered when enlarged. > >/*#navcontainer { entire ruleset not needed > width: 770px; > height: 26px; > margin: 0px 0px 5px 0px; > } */ > >Re-set the lead so it won't clip on zoom (and you set the leading twice). >#navcontainer ul >{font: 900 90%/1.4/*normal*/ 'palatino linotype', palatio, georgia, >'times new roman', times, serif; >/*line-height: 18px*/ >} >This is an ie specific filter-- you may want to put it in a conditional >comment when you get further along. >Eliminate the padding and re-set the lead for ie. >* html #navcontainer ul >{ padding-top: 0; padding-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6; } Thanks. I'm not entirely sure I follow all that, but I'll try it out as best I can... >Regards, >~dL >PS Tidy Online <http://infohound.net/tidy/> and the w3c validation >service(s) are your friends. Yes, I've particularly used the w3c validation services; Tidy I'm not so familiar with. However, I only used the validation services about 3 times today and kept trying different things to solve the spacing problem, so no doubt some weird code crept back in since I last ran it through.
