Thanks Matthew :)

Lex, you're absolutely right. The designer with which i usually work is a lazy a** and a bit of a control freak. But he isn't helping me with this project. It's all me (now you understand why it's so terrible..).

About the "broken" design, It seems that you have a cached version of the css file. When you hit ctrl+F5 (clears the cache) and everything will be ok i guess.

About the em, i always use ems for the text size..
