With millions of web users worldwide there's bound to be at least some that need the text larger, and if all they get's a garbled mess theyre not likely to come back again. If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing right, and a CSS layout isn't a matter of just plugging it in and away you go I'm afraid. You need to think about layout and CSS from the beginning, not at the 11th hour when it's all over barr the shouting. _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ (in reply to jaybee)

Well, that is good but I still have to scroll to see your text on the right. Maybe your clients/viewers have all upgraded to higher res flat screens, but my clients still have lots of old tube monitors set at 800 res. _____________________________ Don from TreeTops Ranch, Oregon "I've got a taste for quality and luxury" (in reply to Donkey)

I am waiting on some investment money and a manufacturer sample production on a lingerie startup ... hopefully it will be as or more successful than my herbal mlm ... check it out for your discreet herbal health needs ... www.trachealth.com (shameless plug) (in reply to womble)
