good one, ed

nice to see someone else who really knows how to pack a Links bar

;o)

chris, it does seem to be working the way you wrote it

be careful setting a font size to 200% in one selector and then 75% in
another

you might intend for 75% as an "absolute" size, but the browser just might
interpret it as 75% of its parent (containing element), and if that's 200%
then you end up with 150%

at the risk of sounding like a broken record, as this is one of my pet
rants, try designing your page without resorting to setting any font size
whatsoever

otherwise, if you really believe the browser manufacturers collectively have
all screwed up, and the default sizes are all too big, and you want to scale
down the fonts on your site, then try setting the font size in the BODY to
76% and use ems on all other selectors
