Thanks... that fixed the overflow problem in Mozilla.

I changed these to <h2>'s. Better now?

I'm at work (Linux Desktop) and don't have access to IE, so I don't
know if doing the above fixed what you were talking about there... did
it? However in Mozilla when I remove the 'float: left;' from
albumplayers it causes the list to jump up to right under the
albuminfo content (see
http://www.crookedfingers.com/new/discography/index2.html ). This is
the behavior I was experiencing in IE 6. However, the way I want it
to look is found at http://www.crookedfingers.com/new/discography/
with the list of players lining up on the same row as the track
listing. If there is a way to get this to work without floating the
players I'm all ears (or a way to get it to work in IE period).

So, what's the general suggestion for % font sizes? Small at 80%,
large at 120%, x-larget at 140%? What's the group's suggestion?

Thanks for the pointer. That was some old code I put in place a
couple of years ago and had not revisited. Fixed it now (though I had
to switch doctype to xhtml 1.0 transitional to get it to validate).
Thanks,
