Hi Showpup,
as I posted somewhere else,

if you right mouse click in Firefox and do VIEW SOURCE CODE.
Then word search for the word "English" (without quotes).
Within 2 lines you will see 2 WIDTH figures, which are effectively exact percentages. One (MYI) is 100 as in 100%.

It's much quicker to do than explain - honest.

BTW what only sunk in after watching Nate's FireBug (cough) video was that even 1 pixel/point is 5.5 hits.

AKA if the 100% base line is 550,
then 1% is
550 * (1/100)
aka 550 * 0.01 = 5.5

I'm not sure a 1 pixel line is going to impress and swoon my bank manager, but... ;-)

Peter.
