Well, no. Your CSS technique is pretty good, I would say. Getting
a design to work cross-browser, allowing for text resizing and similar
factors is tough. To do it without access to a good cross-section
of browsers impossible, I would imagine.
For the menu to work, I suggest taller images and a "natural" height
so that they expand vertically with larger text. You are pretty much
stuck with fixed widths to avoid wrapping, but you can get a couple
of increases without breaking, I would hope.
With regard to IE7's "zoom" - well, I wish I had an answer. I have
similar problems, and have tried all manner of fixes, including some
pretty convoluted Micro$oft "expressions".
If anyone else on the list has ideas, please share them. I am all ears.
Cordially,
David
