Hi Again Kyong,

Yes I suggest that you use java script instead of hardcoded styling. My
experience has been that it is uneconomic to use server side styling when
dealing with cross-browser issues. After all the User is King! The code
snippet I supplied was from Folder.htt so it is probably very solid. I feel
confident that the issue will be with the use of px i/o em as your sizing
basis.. but I could be wrong. It is up to you to do the hard work and make
the decision.

On second thoughts, after looking closely at your code, try assigning the
nowrap attribute to your containing tag. (client)

mmm. But I still think that scripting is a better option.
