Here on Linux, it's about 1500px wide in FF and Google Chrome unstable (which uses same Webkit engine as Safari). If Safari isn't doing the same, it must be a Safari-specific bug. http://dowebsitesneedtolookexactlythesameineverybrowser.com/ I wonder for those who do see a difference if it is because on Safari an em may not be generic, but rather specific to the actual font-family. Maybe FF is measuring generically, while Safari is measuring based upon the diminuitive Corbel. Do you see the same result if you remove '"Corbel", Arial,' from the CSS? > I see the same problem you mentioned in both safari on windows as well as > safari on the mac. > It appears that safari does not equate font-size: 100% == 16px; If Safari's default has been adjusted to something other than 16px to accommodate user requirements, or in any other browser, it shouldn't. There's _no_ valid point in assuming any particular px size as a default size. > Set your font-size to 16px instead of 100.1% and the width will be fixed. 1-it's rude 2-it defeats one major purpose of em sizing (to accommodate/honor visitor requirements, while maintaining a design's proportions to whatever extent viewport size permits) > Modern browsers will still be able to resize the font, but for IE you may I've "re"sized in advance by setting my default to to something other than 16px meet my needs. I shouldn't have to do it again on every rude page I load. True resize is a browser defense mechanism. It only need be applied on encountering offensive CSS. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
