In my experience IE doesn't resize ems consistently. I've come to use % for the base (on the html), then em (on the body)
Eh? That makes no sense to me. Body is a child of html.
I'm not disputing that. What I'm saying is: I use
html { font-size: 100%; }to get IE to play nice again when resizing (using View -> Text-size), as it has a major flaw if you just use straight ems (the jumps between sizes are far too great).
after that, I have
body { font-size: 0.8em; }or whatever.
Also note that, in practice, it seems that ems and percentages are interchangeable (if we leave aside the IE em resizing bug), so I could also say
body { font-size: 80%; }Patrick H. Lauke -- _____________________________________________________ re·dux (adj.): brought back; returned. used postpositively [latin : re-, re- + dux, leader; see duke.] www.splintered.co.uk | www.photographia.co.uk http://redux.deviantart.com
