Is it just "well thats the way it is" and I have to use % ? Thanks _____________________________ Steve ----------------------- Life isn’t a rehearsal … it's an audition www.esprit-internet.co.uk

Oh, and as Dan stated, don't forget to add if it is a percentage, pixel, em, etc... Just putting a plain 10 won't tell the browser what to do. _____________________________ Deb-aka-c4Ksissy high panjandurum and alpha female of the silverback tribe As decreed by Jesper 5-24-2003.

Even IE will co-operate then. So decide that 10(px,pt whatever equals 1 em, or 0.9em) and take it from there. Have a look at the sticky "Links" post at the top to find more information, or you could use the Search forum function within the CSS forum. Edit: I see that Deb beat me to it, very comprehensively. _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.
