Following your logic 'auto' value should be considered as wrong because it cannot be applied to font-size. Anne, sorry, but I cannot understand your logic here. ============================================================ Just consider 'auto' not as only value but as a units name. These 'auto' units has not only 'auto' (100%%) value but also 80auto (80%%), etc. Just imagine that instead of <length> Specifies a fixed width. .... auto See the section ..... you will see <length> Specifies a fixed width. .... <auto> See the section describing auto units..... Is this not clear? Andrew Fedoniouk. http://terrainformatica.com
