Are you sure this statement was *above* the line which includes
the wikiform script? If the above fix for the view peroblem
works, I'd expect hte fix for the list links to work also.
Echoing back the action value might help you see what is happening.

My slip of the fingers (too much of a hurry):

echo "action=$action.";

No dollar sign!!

Have you tested this with several browsers? The pmwiki skin 
is very light-weight, and I am surprised that a smaller font 
size instruction is ignored. You could try changing 'smaller' to
(for example) 85%.

I have not encountered this problem.
