A good structural test for a layout is that it should hold without breaking, overlapping, or float dropping at +2 font-zoom in the Gecko browsers. And at text-size "largest" in with ignore font sizes checked in accessibility mode [1]in IE5 through 7. Some designers also check their layout for breaking by setting the minimum font size at least 24px. With regard to re-writing, you are running 5 columns and may need even more width than you currently show-- granted you'll draw an even wider scrollbar at 800. Allowing the software to layout the page without restriction (particularly avoiding setting height) helps. This is a simple and somewhat similar (nothing to write home about) example: <http://www.chelseacreekstudio.com/ca/cssd/stuff.html> It has been quick tested in IE5 through 7; and in compliant browsers. [1]To put IE in accessibility mode: tools>internet options>accessibility>tcheck bo about ignore font sizes>text-size>largest. Best, ~dL PS I learned most of what I know from Georg Sortun-- the gentle man who wrote: "your layout is a bit weak, and can't take much, if any, font-resizing in any browser. Test in browsers and you'll see how easily it breaks." -- http://chelseacreekstudio.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
