Aha! Stan has zoomed his fonts larger or has set a preference for larger fonts. The text content uses quite small font-size, so this is indeed understandable. I can recreate the problem by zooming to 150%. Note that the page has 6 XHTML errors and 32 CSS errors. None of these include the error of forcing the page footer to a fixed location without regard for the size of text in the main body. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
