[Helpers] fonts

   I wonder if anybody knows about CSS and browser compatibility?

    I have been tweaking the stylesheet and a test page. It all looked fine 
in iexplore, the main text and quotes resized but the navtable didn't... 
then I checked font resizing in firefox and it worked the opposite! The 
navtable resized but the quotes and text didn't.  WTF???

   Browser sniffer and alternate stylesheets? Arrgh.

My test page:
