Oops, missed the new posts in threaded mode! Thanks for the tips (and to Gunlaug Sorten---excuse my misspelling in ASCII-only) and warnings about zooming. I had a discussion with a friend who is somewhat experienced also, and he mentioned quite a few points in addition to what I've been told on this list. Most too technical for me to understand without actually testing, but one that stood out was: Declare everything yourself, and use the CSS reset. He's also sent me some useful links for learning more, which perhaps people here might find useful too if they don't know about them already: http://alistapart.com/ http://www.smashingmagazine.com/ http://www.456bereastreet.com/ Here is---according to him---a good example of the CSS reset technique: http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/ BTW, I found a site that seems to do very nicely under resizing conditions: http://www.hlj.com It generates a wider and wider page as necessary without losing control of the elements, at least in Firefox/Iceweasel under linux. Edit: and then I notice...HTML tables. Oh well....it looked nice!
