Spans are inline elements so applying padding acts on then in an unusual way, I've found. I think if you used a DIV, or else applied display: block; to the span you'd find it'd be more manageable. Or reduce the padding itself. There's a quite deltailed description of it here: http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/inline-format.html Test document: http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/inline-test-1.html Also, not sure how the body tag font affected it, but my general way of setting forn-size, is body { font-size: 62.5%; } which reduces the font size to 10px, and size using ems from there on in. Works very well, in my experience. - Kevin ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
