Thanks a million you super geniuses!

On my browser, which is not any of your mentioned, the text overlaps. I don't know if you mean the text being messed up is this.

body {
margin: 0px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #333333;
line-height: 1mm;
font-weight: lighter;
padding: 0px;
}

I guess it is this that causes the trouble for me.

You are using an absolute line-height which can lead to display problems on other browsers / previous versions of MSIE. You should use relative (ie px or % to specify line-height) to remain compatible with most browsers.

Here is a useful tool to check your CSS code for potential problems:

I do, because it loads faster (except Opera). And also, a Mozilla language pack for my region is not available for v1.3 and 1.4, so I need to use 1.2, or use English if I have to stick to bleeding edge releases.

I know it does not support as many standards as gecko, and sometimes not as good, but I find it acceptable for daily use in general. I won't use it as a yardstick for standard compliance anyway. If it works fine for me, I see no reason why not. Obviously, Netscape 4.x is even worse. Very usually, a site which doesn't display well on Konqueror does not display well on Mozilla as well, due to faulty stylesheets.

I have been using Gecko since NS 6.0 beta stage, and I'm still using it on Windows. But on Linux, I use Konqueror much more often. How do you know it's Linux? I also have a working FreeBSD installation with KDE which looks exactly like this too.
