The height is constraining the box... I think you have two choices: add overflow : hidden|auto (will hide or scroll excess content) remove the height attribute and control height some other way. Good Luck. On Fri, 15 Oct 2004 15:35:14 +1000, Natalie Buxton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi

I too like the design, I wish I could design like that. My only comment would be that I think the standard font size is a bit small.. yes I know you can resize it but a well sighted person shouldnt have to. My 50c worth. -- Todd Baker http://electronet.com.au - Where electrons go for a good
