Hi Phillipe, Thanks for your reply. I've been given a design that has a box with specified height containing Web Text. It's CMS too :)
I've told the client many times that in the design the height should be expandable, but they have refused to change, so the end solution is offering a word count for content added in the CMS. So, I've built it, but the line-height of the text is larger in all Windows Browsers compared to OS X. I've set a fixed line-height in my stylesheet, but Windows will still display a larger line-height than OS X. Any idea how I can get them to be exactly the same height?
