You're right about having a lot wrong. This shows just a few problems (it is worse farther down, or when zoomed): http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/soren1.png The text is too small, and it often doesn't fit into the spaces allotted for it. The text is (too small) via relative sizing, but the space for it to fit is frequently set with px for container height or line-height, and overflow: hidden to go with it. The result is a lot of hidden or overlapping text when the user's browser is using uncommon settings. -- "Be quick to listen, slow to speak." James 1:19 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
