Ok, if you go to http://www.simplebits.com/ and you resize the text in either Firefox or in IE by using the options up in the toolbar to make the text smaller or larger, the entire site expands when you do it. On my project, if you resize the text the same way, the text will get larger but the structure of the site does not stretch to make it still look perfect. Does that make sense? So, I am curious to know how this works. Is it by setting everything as percentages rather than a fixed pixel size?
