Of course I would be interested in your ideas. I was pleased with
Ben's response because he provided an answer that met my
specification.

I did not respond to your previous post in this thread because I
assumed you were simply chiding me for accepting a solution that might
fail and you knew that there was an implied "the text must not break
out of the blue area". I have accepted the fact that _I_ cannot design
an application that will work well on a wrist watch computer and a
plasma TV screen without extensive additional code that "knows" the
size of the viewport. If you have a solution to the problem I posed
that works over a wider range of viewports I would be grateful if you
would post it.
