Thanks for all the help, I've done a bit of initial playing around and
it does seem that the em sizing was causing the problems. Thanks for
the help.
The reason for them being in em's was down to the fact that I didn't
really understand the significance of the code that I downloaded to do
the thumbs bit (it's my first website).
A couple of other questions, why should I include a space before
closing empty elements, is this a style thing or a standards thing?
Also, the reason that I have the <i> in the title is that the lightbox
script picks up the title and uses it for its text. The italics simply
look nicer. I've put the page through the w3c validation and it
passes, but with warnings on the page. How significant a problem is
this, will some browsers kick up a fuss, look funny or otherwise. Of
is it more that I'm bending the rules of standards? Indeed, is there a
way to achieve what I'm after without the warnings?
