> HTML text is really teeny in Netscape, even though I've defined a
CSS style for it, so it collapses the cell and moves my graphic on the
right hand side over
Text size is not always the same as points are rendered differently.
You will also find this true if you view your site on a Mac.
One way round this is to use CSS to define your text size in pixels rather
than is points
(a point is defined from a printer's point of view and there are 72 points
to the inch)
This, obviously, doesn't work well on your computer screen as "size" is not
a constant.
Since you define your tables in pixels, if you define your text size in
pixels it must look the same wherever it is.
On another point, (no pun!) if you want to prevent your table cell from
collapsing whatever happens, try putting a transparent gif inside it of the
right size for the width.
In your graphics package create a new image with a transparent background
and make it 1 px by 1 px - Save it as a gif (you could call it pixel.gif or
something like that.
When you put it in your cell make it the size you want e.g. <img
src="pixel.gif" height="1" width="146">
Now your cell cannot colapse to less than 146 pixels. Using a 1 px gif
means one size fits all!
