Hi Bob,
Nathans mail brought me to the idea, that IE5.5 has a problem with your
basic font-definition. IE is known to have a problem, if you style body
with em. So the best way, we had this a few days ago, is to style with
percent if you want the IE-users to be able to resize the page.
Your basic definition is
body {
font : 8pt Verdana, Arial, Sans Serif;
}
Point would be correct, if it would be a print-stylesheet. For screen it
would be pixels (px) or percent or ex or ex. I would prefer percent.
As the standard size (1em) is 16px and we should assume 1px as equal as
1pt you would write:
body {
font : 50% Verdana, Arial, Sans Serif;
}
I wouldn't choose 50% but on the other hand 8px is really small, even
for Verdana.
So maybe your problem would be solved, if you change the font-unit for body.
