I can change the values, but: you don't don't don't don't ever ever ever use pixels to define font size. EVER. 1) On Windows, 12px is not 12pt. It's something like 10pt. Which is small for some (a lot?) people. On Mac 12px does basically equal 12 pt. Still: 2) Hardcoding the font size is breaking the usability of a site. Why not use the percentage or em or something like that, which will allow people with a larger default font to have the intended ratio? Then, why is all the CSS in the head of the page and not in an external file? Finally, yeah, clearing the bugs like the one pauljs noticed would be nice. :-)
