It's greatly appreciated. I can stop farking with it now. I tried it with my standard "XHTML 1.0 Strict" doctype and it still works. I wonder why the width tag does that? thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!

In the case of Chrome, h3 is 117% the size of the containing element. So, when you nest tags like this, it gets bigger and bigger.. I assume the same thing happens in Firefox. But if IE styles h3 as having an actual fixed size (like, say, 18 pixels), then it would look alright. They haven’t styled h3, so it takes on the browser default styling.
