Here's another question , same topic. In the article by Patrick Griffiths http://www.alistapart.com/articles/elastic/ he uses a 100% font-size for the body and then makes the width at 36ems so that (if I'm correct in my understanding) the text and elements scale in proportion to each other. It uses IE , largest text as the guideline to make sure the page stays inside an 800px viewport. However for some of my purposes 36ems width might be too small a width as I just slapped this together: http://pamshop.com/Template1/ala_elastic.html What if I set body (font-size: 50%) then increased the wrapper width to 72ems ? Does that still keep things in relative proportion ? Guess I should have tried this before posting, because the width of the wrapper does not increase in this case. I'm sort of grasping this but not completely.
