You don't need to uninstall 2005 at all - you can run the two side by
side.

good news to my ear ... thanks

Ah. I guess beauty's in the eye of the beholder, but personally, I'd
prefer all the inline boxes to be the same width. Whether they are all
exactly the width of the layout box in which they're contained or some
specific proportion is less important, but especially where you have
several close to each other I think consistent widths would look nicer.

Fair enough. I've removed the property now - could you check that it
looks okay for everything you use? It's fine on my browsers. I haven't
updated my main web site or the book's web site yet... I'll wait 'til
we're finalized

It's possible you can work around that by specifying the size in

different units (e.g. pixels instead of points). Again, I've never
really cared enough to bother playing with it.

Unfortunately I believe that part is to do with some CSS that I *don't*
have control over. It's certainly not a problem in my normal website

Well, the font size is defined in the same class where you set the
"display" property for inline code. So obviously you could change it
there.

Sorry, I wasn't clear - it's not in the boxes that I've got the
problem.

I assume you're saying that there's actually something else in the CSS
that's interacting negatively with the font size defined for
"div.code". About that, I have no ideas.

The code in the boxes is fine - it's code which is inline in the text
which is too small in Firefox.

Looks great now!

Oh, okay. I understand now, thanks.
