Works a charm!- after I changed minimum-height ;-). I went from this
computer to my development machine (xammp), put in minimum and it did
nothing. I sometimes think language developers just switch from full
length words to abbreviations to trip *me* and it works.

Funny how much more fun work is when it is not work. I really
appreciate the time and effort spent. I am not having much luck
understanding fully why it works but it is clean in all tested browsers
(including IE6/7). It has the added benefit of not having all the extra
white-space my solution had on short item lists.

I would have gotten back to you sooner but my wife and I are working on
a new routine. It always amazes me how difficult that is after all
these years.

Thanks again,
