Hi folks,

After 4 of my associates were unable to resolve this, and a web search fails to reveal a resolution, I'm hoping I might get a bit of assistance on an odd bug.

http://www.swapwatch.com/swaplist_dj_v2.html
On this page, note that the columnar dollar amounts are non-bold, and the last line (totals) is bolded.

In IE6 and FF2, the space between the figures in the totals line is much narrower than the figures above. I have attemted to compensate for this with "letter-spacing: 0.05em;" but I still can't get a consistent appearance.

The styles I use are listed below. Could someone please make a recommendation as to how to solve this? Thanks!


.tableContentDigits {
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 9px;
    color: #333333;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-right: 7px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    padding-left: 5px;
    text-align: right;
}
.tableContentDigitsTotal {
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 9px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #333333;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-right: 7px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    padding-left: 5px;
    text-align: right;
}
.tableContentDigitsBG {
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 9px;
    color: #333333;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-right: 7px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    padding-left: 5px;
    text-align: right;
    background-color: #f8f8f8;
}

I had a peak at your code, but after about five minutes, I couldn't make out what was wrong. Some tips, you have *a lot* of styles and HTML that can be completely eliminated. For example, you can use the font, padding, border, and margin, and background shorthand properties in a lot of places, which would bring down your style sheet to about 1/10th the size. The gif images that you use in the HTML source can be taken away and replaced with CSS.

If I had more time to troubleshoot your code, I would probably try disabling various styles and possibly HTML until the problem went away. This approach can help you narrow down the offending bits of code more quickly. By the way, this problem did not manifest in Firefox on Mac.

Regards,
Rich
