Ah! Thank you. Of course as soon as I change that, I have new
issues to deal with (code that no longer validates) but at least
I have a direction to go in!
However, this doesn't make any difference in Firefox. I guess maybe
when I get my code validating it might work? Otherwise the only difference
appears to be text size.

This was a desparate gambit of mine; I should have taken it out when
it didn't work!

Ok, maybe I misunderstand here. My understanding of box model is that
IE doesn't quite align as other more "correct" browsers, so you need
to add extra, slightly skewed, directions in the CSS which IE will read
but which other browsers will ignore. So I'm not sure if I've missed
something?

That works great in IE. Thanks for that (and for being prepared to
offer a rough and ready suggestion rather than just "fix your code").
Firefox is still looking the same... no idea how to fix it.
