I have been having a horrible time getting the overal to stop on my site. Some days it is fine, but on the following day <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.theunionleader.com/pages/yesterday.html">http://www.theunionleader.com/pages/yesterday.html</a><!-- m --> if a user in Netscape 4.7 decides to use the browser preferences to 16pts or so and picks use document specified fonts, it causes overlap. Then other days the 12pt default causes an overlap. This problem originally was fixed when we used of a 300-pixel photo at the bottom to stablilizes the frames (table cells). We found using a smaller<br />
image in the same template which uses photos with side caption..... it blows out. We already know that a picture<br />
at the top with side copy blows it out. I'm get frustrated with it. Everything looks okay in IE and Netscape 6<br />
