Hi all. I am about to commence a redesign of my home site (have learnt a lot
over the last couple of months, much of it from this list) which was
orgininally constructed using absolute positioning. I am beginning to
understand the limits of that appraoch and now the news site will comprise a
header, two columns (floated left and right) and a footer.

I want to go ahead with an elastic - liquid hybrid layout, ie the element
dimensions will be in ems to allow the layout to scale as font-size
increases, with max-widths added to prevent the layout expanding past the
browser window in compliant browsers.

So my base font-size will be 63% (to give a base font of marginally over
10px and avoiding the fractional percentage issue with IE).

Is this a good approach, and if not, could you clarify?

Thanks all!
