As an experiment, I've installed an Amazon widget called an Omakase on
my site pages. (I've found Amazon to be the most likely place to find
the books and music discussed on my site.) The JavaScript in it "talks"
to the Amazon servers, somehow collecting the page topic and generating
a small horizontal box which contains two links to other items by the
same author/musician/whatever. The problem is the text size. For some
reason, Amazon's text is showing up too large inside the box, at least
with the browsers I've tried. I posted to the "Amazon associates" forum,
and someone with more experience showed me the selector Amazon is using
in their style sheets to control text size. He suggested I include it in
my style sheet as well with a size change, based on the theory that this
would somehow force the font size to obey. Didn't work. I can see
Amazon's remote code via Firebug, but I can't figure out if my local
style sheet is interfering with theirs, or what to do about it.

Here's a link to one of the pages using the Amazon link...

And here's a link to what I see in Firefox...

... where the top of the text forced down is peeking just above the
bottom border of the box.
