i should say the div expands proportionally to an increase in the
font-size declaration of that div.
at font-size: 1em; everything is great.
at font-size: 2em; there is a double - even outside my "container" div
which houses the logo header div..

Makes sense. You've told the div to be 6 times the font-size and then
you've doubled the font size.
When a length is defined in em the value of 1em varies on the property
being defined:
For font-size 1em = the font-size of the parent element.
For all other properties 1em = the font size of the current element.

Hard to tell really.
Your "strict" doctype declaration will not be picked up by the doctype
sniffers when you serve a page from geocities, so anything that comes
out of that place will be rendered in "quirks" mode regardless of what
you do to try to get it right.

this was totally unexpected to me, however, it displays this way in
both ie6 and ff1 so i think it is rendering correctly and i've coded
something incorrectly.
The height of the DIV is 6em, which means 6 times "the computed value of the
'font-size' property of the element on which it is used [i.e., the DIV]." If
you double the DIV's font-size property from 1em to 2em, you've doubled its
computed value, which means you've doubled any value that's defined in terms
of that computed value. In other words: this is the correct behavior.

I.e. all parts of Geocities crap gets served first, before your doctype

Right there at the <!DOCTYPE... thingy, but it has to be the first thing

Not sure if this is what you should be considering, but take a look
here anyway.... http://mycoolfish.com/t/thing.html
All the divs are using the same class. They each have been applied the
same text size in /em/
resize the text and see what happens. This behaviour is because they
are each nested and inheret each others parent size.
So... the outermost uses 1.2em of its parent (the body) - 100%. the
first ensted element uses 1.2 em of its parent (which is already using
1.2em of its parent)... and so on.
play around and see what happens when you make the em size 1em, 1.2 em,
and .9em.
All expected results because of the nesting.
This may lead you into reason of the behaviour of your page.
Hope it helps.

> Makes sense. You've told the div to be 6 times the font-size and then you've doubled the font size.
that makes sense aqs you've explained it, but that IS NOT what i was
trying to do. i was trying to make the div 6em - period. well, you
know, at the normal text size in a browser.
i want em so that its size can be adjusted when folks adjust their
browser's text size.
i then want to be code different font-sizes within my 6em div.
i *thought* that is what i did, however, i'm obviously wrong.
i still don't see where i went wrong. can anyone help?

When a length is defined in em the value of 1em varies on the
property being defined:
For font-size 1em = the font-size of the parent element.
For all other properties 1em = the font size of the current element.

Then make it 3em.
height of element relative to own font size = height of element
relative to default font size / element's own font size relative to
default font size*
3 = 6 / 2
*If there was an inbetween element with font-size 1.2em you would need
to take that into account as well. So instead of dividing by 2 you
would divide by 1.2 because he computed value for the element's
font-size would be 1.2*2 = 2.4 times the browser default.
i want em so that its size can be adjusted when folks adjust their
browser's text size.
How much text will you have in your header? As the font size increases
the text may wrap onto a second line, and then onto a third. In this
case it may spill out of the box you're providing. Instead of setting
a height set a bottom padding.
i still don't see where i went wrong. can anyone help?
Is there something missing from the description I gave and which you
quoted (and Harlan gives the same explanation in more technical
terms.): When a length is defined in em the value of 1em varies on the
property being defined:
For font-size 1em = the font-size of the parent element.
For all other properties 1em = the font size of the current element.
