All those "hours invested in CSS-design" isn't much compared to years in table-based design, so you just have to keep at it - or stop right there. Some of us have invested years in CSS-design, and are slowly arriving at the point where we can leave the bugs for the browser-developers to fix. Tables are self-adjusting by default and will cover up for many mistakes. That's one reason many table-old-timers prefer tables. CSS-layouts will also self-adjust by default, but you haven't given yours much of a chance to adjust anything to anything with fixed dimensions and font-sizes. The menu pop-ups are even breaking (overlapping text) in Firefox at 'min-font-size: 14px', and that's because nothing is allowed to expand in a standard-compliant browser. IE6 saves that part of the layout by its non-standard "expand everything no matter what" behavior. So the choice shouldn't be between tables or CSS, but whether you want a "fixed" layout (that you can't expect to hold), or an "adjustable" layout that can survive on the web. How many, and which, old browser-versions you would like to - or have to - support, is also an important question. Old versions of any browser will have weaknesses - that's why they keep on developing new versions all the time. Browsers have had more than 10 years to include support for tables (although most of them are still quite buggy). Good CSS support is just beginning to spread across browser-land. ---- BTW: I couldn't quite make out this value in your styles: width: 101.5px; Care to explain? regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
