David, thanks for your gracious feedback. unfortunately, i'm not sure if i understand much of what you had to say (my comprehension stats are usually pretty decent too); explanation below. also, at the bottom is a newly discovered problem its the sort of thing i can't reason, but that i know this list has a ready answer for.

Try a raw number for line-height. wow. didn't even know i could do that. the w3 site doesn't even mention that you can use px, but everyone and their mom seem to, including ALA, some grid-layout people, etc. sheesh. i normally use em, when starting from scratch, but apparently that's wrong too? at least if the following is equivalent to what you said: w3.org : "This differs from a percentage value in the way it inherits: when a numerical value is specified, child elements will inherit the factor itself, not the resultant value.

(can anyone reading verify this?) in any case, i need to fix this. perhaps you or another can tell me the correct way to do this? i'm sure this one is a known quantity. > PS Not nice to put IE users at the mercy of putting your stuff in > "accessibility" mode in order to get their font-size preference -- > rather than yours :-) . no doubt! if i can only figure out what it was i did! after all, i've got nothing against the ie USERS.... thanks so much again, josh ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
