Don't know about Phillipe, but I used Firebug. Hovering over each node in the DOM lets you see the space it's taking up itself, plus its margins and paddings (all nicely colour coded) and clicking on a node shows you all of the style rules affecting that node along with which stylesheet they're in and what line they're on. I started at the UL, thinking that it may have had a width or margin on it that was causing the problem, and worked down from there. When I thought I'd found the culprit, I changed the values in Firebug's panel for an in-situ look at what effect they'd have. I loves me my Firebug. :) Cheers, Seona. ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
