If this is your first design, then it isn't bad at all. It does have some built-in weaknesses though. Basically: fixed 'height' on containers and general use of 'position: absolute' for text-containing elements, are two design-details that should be avoided if you want your designs to survive in the real world. All browsers you have tested in already, have one or more 'font-resizing options' available. It is not "good practice" to ignore or break those options, so you should test some more, and make your layout/design a bit more flexible. Absolute-positioned elements are taken out of the flow so they can't interact - resulting in overlapping by expanding text-elements if font-resizing is applied in any browser. Example - using Firefox... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/keithcoxdesign_on_f-fox_fon.png> ...with just a little bit more font-resizing than I use as default for all web sites. Also: IE6 seems to have problems finding the correct width of that paragraph... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/keithcoxdesign_on_ie6.png> ...which is caused by a combination of IE/win bugs and the positioning-method used. Adding... #contents p {width: 440px;} ...will fix that in IE6. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
