What I did so far is detecting the browser and adjusting some column and textarea based on the ratio. So far, I am using a ratio of 1.2 for the column and a ratio of 1.64 for the textarea.

I will check that. However, I won't be able to implemente that before a few months because I still have 85% of the users using Netscape 3.
