Hi
Perhaps I sould do a Links CSS FAQ for the new Resources section of Alex's site?
In the second .css file one can use EM's for font-sizes without messing up MSIE3 (it does them as pt's!).
This is good on why pt's are bad:

and this on why EM's are good:
http://style.verso.com/scale/
border: 0; in the css file is a workaround for getting NN4.x to behave like MSIE4/5
I did try setting all these to transparent but this caused other problems...

Another thing that seems to be different about the two is that IE will use the background color for a font across the whole line (which makes sense to me), but NN only uses the font color behind the word itself.border: 0; in the css file is a workaround for getting NN4.x to behave like MSIE4/5

You have to erase them for all the tags because a lot of them are set for white background, which makes things wacky if you are not using a white background on your site.I did try setting all these to transparent but this caused other problems...
