As far as font size goes, you have no means at all of knowing what your audience will see. Quite apart from OS and browser settings, the physical size of the monitor and whether the window is maximized come into the mix. Would you give me a larger font size on my 1680 x 1050 20" monitor than you would for my 1280 x 800 13" notebook? Please don't. Instead of messing with font sizes, use "medium" for important content. As for using different layouts that depend on window width, here are some thoughts I came across about a year ago: <http://clagnut.com/blog/1663/> Cordially, David -- ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
