Yeah, this is problematic. There's no easy solution for this one, unfortunately. You can use CSS to set width (and max-width, but there may be support issues) but figuring out what's the right size is hard in CSS. >2.

This sounds like a problem with your CSS; are you using a universal selector (*) to set the color? >So, could some please recommend a browser which supports CSS2 and can be >configured to use my own stylesheet in preference to any other style. Mozilla or Netscape 6 is probably your best choice here. You need to locate the user.css file in your Mozilla subdirectories, and put your CSS rules there. I am working on a project to automate some of the process of creating specialized user style sheets -- and I am looking for people who would like to contribute CSS rules and ideas for this. If you're interested, please write to me off-list and I'll let you know what it's all about. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Web Accessibility Expert-for-hire http://kynn.com/resume Next Book: Teach Yourself CSS in 24 http://cssin24hours.com
