No, you can't, because that's not how browsers work... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_1_03_04.html> All one achieves with such a small base font-size is to make text unreadable on high-resolution screens, and risk having it blown entirely out of proportions if end-users use their browsers to fix the problem. Layouts that break because the base font-size is set too small, is a growing problem. Not a good idea to add more of the same since it's counterproductive and totally unnecessary. Computers usually come with excellent calculators so one can count downwards and get it right, instead of upwards and get it wrong. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
