David, I looked at the page on Opera Version: 9.22 Build: 3687 MacOS X System: 10.4.10 I work on Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3) and check on Firefox 2.0.0.5. I don't have access to a Windows environment except at my local library where they've got the screens in the most bizarre arrangements you've ever seen and don't know how to change them. What I'm attempting to do is split the pages into a number of smaller pages, these being set out in the top and bottom menus - 'Menu for al-Salata...' - and it's that which is causing me the problems. I like the idea of using js to open divisions, but thought that might give visitors problems. 50% of my visitors use WinIE6, 25% WinIE7, 15% Firefox and the rest a variety, so I'm really concerned to get the IE6 sorted out. I take your point about the font scaling issues and spent some time researching Zeldman et al to find a consensus. There isn't one. But I do worry about accessibility and will see what I can do about the fonts. I may sit in a darkened room and try to think the paging problem through again and see if I can find a simpler system. Anyhow, a lot to think about, With kind regards John ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
