With regards to the following:

font: 11px/22px Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Could someone please tell me what the 11px/22px is all about?

It's old style for sure. Use percentages, and drop Verdana.

font: 100% Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Thanks for that.

As I posted to the response from Felix, the code was from this css book [the
css Anthology]http://www.sitepoint.com/books/cssant1/ which I'm currently
working through.
