From an accessibilty/usibilty standpoint this delcaration of Bill's CSS http://www.shopkeepers-r.us/stylesheets/application.css?1225143428, body, p, ol, ul, td { font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; } may be better served in part, body {font: 100%/1.4 verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;} with child elements served in ems (or just left alone). I've been down the road of nested %'s. It's confusing and ugly.
