Mind you, the page could validate perfectly and IE would still chew it up,


Tell me about it! Nothing more frustrating than having everything validate perfectly, and IE can't render it properly.

I'll pass along the info and have a closer look myself - i wasn't even certain where to start looking.

At a guess; she has stuff like "font-size: 130%" and so on. I could imagine that something is array and each subsequent declaration of that is increasing the font by 130%.

Can she not use em?

I don't know - i really don't know how much HTML/CSS knowledge she has. I will pass that along as well.

Just had a play. By replacing all of her percentage and em font sizes with px (120% and 1.2em changed to 14px) - the fontsize stays the same all the way down the page.

It's obviously not good using px, as the user can't increase font-size, but there's probably something up (unclosed tags or something) that's causing it.

EM is (afaik) worked out from it's parent object. And so on. So lots of 1.2ems in each other will make the final object very big indeed

was going to say the same as Steve, the value I found was 110% though so she may need to check all the font sizes rather than just look for one odd size
