Of course, if you can accidentally change your default font setting, your visitor can deliberately change his or her default font setting, too, and upset all your design calculations. Perhaps it's better to think in terms of a 1em grid than a "10px" grid ...
David Jones, Content Coordinator, Information and Technology Management, Customer Relations - KL PS, (808) 948-5830 David, You are absolutely right the visitor could change their default font settings, they can also increase or decrease the font size on the fly. Which is why I think of it as a foundation, I'm using ems with an expectation that the user can change the font size. Setting it to 10px just helps me work my grid out initially. I have no delusions of it being set in stone, but it gives me a place to start one that I can wrap my mind around without too much effort ; ) heh.
