View your site in your browser and then increase the text size Apple-+ in Safari and you will see what the PC users are seeing.

Because you are using CSS layering the text boxes are expanding over the top of other text boxes and graphics.
Have a look at Dan J’s box model tutorials on his Blog site http://danjasker.blogspot.com/

No - you can use the principals from the tutorial in the problem areas of your site ie insert a graphic box in the HTML text box after the text so that resized text will push the image down

An easier alternative may be to convert your items to table based
items (just deselect Layer in the Inspector palette).

Yes this may well be the best way for you to go at this stage until you are comfortable with the ideas behind the box model.

Hi Joe & David,
Thanks for your tips…your save my butt as this website is live and I had to get it running before the end of today. Trying to rush through re-constructing the many pages would have taken me days! So the “table based” idea works as a great stop gate measure while I work through putting the correct rules into place in a re-constructed site.
There is one thing that is not working though. My CSS menu at the top of the site. I can’t get the text to not vary in size (hence overflowing) when I do Apple+/-. What can I do to rectify this?
Also, I noticed in my Q&A page, the accordion does not work if the page is smaller than the size of the accordion scripts (in FW)? http://www.majjhima.org/qna01.html
→ it’s working properly now coz I’ve extended my page length in FW.
Many thanks. You guys are a legend!

Not much I am afraid. HTML text is at the mercy of the viewer when it comes to size etc.
Bear in mind that visually impaired people may want to increase text size to make it easier to read,
the accordion does not work if the page is smaller than the size of the accordion scripts
I think you have answered your own question here. You have to expect that the page be big enough to accommodate the scripts unless you construct it with a flexible layout.

BTW your Q&A page still suffers when enlarging text - I know you are still working on it!

Hi David…
I’ve been trying to fix the Q&A page to no avail. I have a table layout for the intro at the start of the page (blue box) and the actual Q&A is still CSS (green box). I have to leave it as that since the accordion action is applied to that, right?
as for the pulldown menu, should i redo it in some other way?
Thanks very much, I appreciate your help heaps!

Have you tried copy/paste the accordion section into a final row in the table that holds the intro?
