But what I'm seeing in FF2 and IE6 is that it sets the font size to what I specified in the .CSS HTML or BODY style (which is much preferred). If it works the latter way, this is very han...

Simple example: I want to have some items on a page (like divs or table rows) and I want to let the user click on them to select them. That seems easy enough in jquery.

Some notes: This is not exactly a shopping cart, but more like an itinerary that the user is building... but we'll use the word cart for now b/c ppl relate to it.

I want (barely computer literate) people to easily submit a large number of files (pictures) through my web application.

I am a programmer at a financial institute. I have recently been told to enforce that all new user id's to have at least one alpha and one numeric.
