Why does my text look fine in Netscape but look huge when I use Internet Explorer? Any ideas? Http://AllofMaine.com

Hi Rick
Nice looking site
It's the diferent ways in which the browsers work - it's a pain
MSIE and NN render the relative sizes, small, large etc in a different way.
The way I have been getting around this is by not actually setting sizes in the links.css style sheet but in another style sheet which has the sizes in em's. This means that MSIE 4/5 and mozilla get the font sizes but NN4 and MSIE3 don't (MSIE3 renders em's as pt's!).
This sounds more complicated than it is! This site: http://www.citinet.org.uk/weblinks/ is set up like this, and the style sheets are in this directory: http://www.citinet.org.uk/css/ .
Hope this helps!
Chris
