I would reccommend feeding browsers only what they can swallow, there are some useful links on the wiki: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=BrowserDetection You could use one of these methods to feed a non-fixed layout to IE6 and below and perhaps a small re-work of the newsletter form for these browsers so it doesn't rely on being at the bottom. > > Thanks for the word of warning about fixed height and text increasing- > I just checked with (apple/command +) I thought I had left enough room > - but nope. > > I just changed my screen res to the one you said and now I have the > same problem.

It's gonna be a long haul! > Don't scrap it, maybe give the links a bit less height, fix the height of the navbar to its natural height and set overflow: auto; on it so if the text is resized the navigation div can still be scrolled even at larger text sizes. Take a look at this article, might give you some ideas re. the use of css background images for re-sizable text: http://alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors/ Also, if you decide to go the way of feeding different css at different resolutions this may help: http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/ResolutionLayout/ It's a script that loads different css depending on the browser viewport's current size. > I am shattered, but thanks again.
