Hi, David;

Care to amplify (no pun intended) that? All I can so far determine is that my
friend has some kind of automatic zoom setting on her computer or browser, that
equally magnified all elements by approximately 25%. Without that 'zoom', the
only other place where I've encountered problems has been on IE -- FF seems to
display properly on all systems.

page at minimum font-size 24px in FF.
Wow, really?! I thought my current font size -- the
www.thinkingmusic.ca/thinkingharmony page is more typical of my site -- was
already pretty huge!
>Validate the markup.
Thanks! I also received details on that from Georg, and I'll look into fixing
it as soon as I have some free time.
All the best,
Michael

It is in part due to the width of 1426px set on #background and the issue you
have is not limited to FF-- it happens in all browsers. Structuring a layout
with absolute positioning seldom works. Try your page at minimum font-size 24px
in FF.
Validate the markup.
