HI Audra & the list- Thanks for replying, I've been wrestling with this for a looooong while. I do want the text to be able to be resized, but not at the expense of the design. I've noticed on some sites that it looks as if the text itself isn't actually resizing, but the whole site is.
I changed the site back to what I originally had before I started messing with it trying to make the site expand with the text. Mysteriously tho, it works as I want in IE7, but not in any of the other browsers, where the text does resize but the site remains fixed-width, and as someone put it, 'looks silly' when the size increases just a couple of zoom levels with only a couple of words per line. I'm looking for some advice on what I can do, it's driving me crazy - and time is running out!! Someone, please help.
