Not sure what you thought u typed there, but if you mean the BBC link, it's
http://news.bbc.co.uk that doesn't resize fonts in IE.

If you mean my site, I have changed www.superhighstreet.com to use px since
I started this thread, so it shouldn't change size in IE and shouldn't look
too bad in other browsers.

I recommend www.Superhighstreet.com/home Finds anything or they pay for it!
