It will open another can of worms, e.g. inter-browser inconsistencies thus different look'n feel. Also bear in mind that the container width (resp. height) is critical to the other css ratios. This is almost the same like having js enabled/disabled at the browser side. Just don't play with that and be more conservative. I'll go for width between 80-95%, no use to left unused space if you don't have good reasons doing so. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB
