Thanks David. Ems! Why didn't I think of that! -g Let me try. The font size I stipulated wasn't 12px but x-small. I'd like to know more about how that works. Is it more like ems, which change depending on the user's prefs? How did you come up with 12px in IE? As to users being able to increase the size of fonts, is there anything we can really do about that, especially in a situation like this menu? Having the menu on one line is my goal. And if there are tips to make it happen in as many situations as possible, I want to know. But when does one say: I've done my best? (A rhetorical question, I'm sure we've all asked ourselves --any concrete solutions, let me know.)
