[WSG] increasing font size breaking layout

2004-09-28 Thread Focas, Grant

Usually there isn't much you can do in these situations. I just ignore it. If you can double the font size, that should be more than enough. If someone needs it bigger - then they are going to be used to broken sites anyway... Any bigger and it becomes too hard to manage. You need to draw a line

Rick, You could put margin:0 in .video_title and .video_synop and that should fix the space issue. You might want to consider more semantic code though, perhaps use the h element (or even a definition list?). cameron. Rick Faaberg wrote: Hi, This is my first request for help to this list I
