uh, yea -- standards
so I was happy to figure out the spacing issue – even if it means that I am still not the html/css guru of my dreams! But now, after viewing it on various browsers, I feel the pain. Mozilla, Mozilla-Firebird and IE all render the right-side menu at different widths so that means my spacing is not uniform. I’m thinking that it deals with my change to using em’s as the font size unit of measure but still using px for all margins and paddings. More experiments to follow. Update: em values seem to have done the trick - it provides a more uniform gap across the different browsers. I’ve also had some more fun with the badges from the wonderful “//gtmcknight":http://gtmcnight.com/buttons site.
