IMO, not entirely. I use super- and subscripts in some of my "local" files that I use at home (on Firefox) and at work (on IE) and was never quite happy with the appearance of the sub and sup markup results as it seemed to always throw my line heights off. I finally gave up and now I use a span with class="sb" or class="sp" and style the classes with my choice of font size and with positioning to bump the items down and up as needed. I also style the line height of the block element involved with enough room for the repositioned items; I then have enough room for the sub- and superscripts and get uniform results up and down the page. Of course I have had no problems with font size using just the two computers. I recommend you style a span class for your superscripts (You can set your font size and position the "superscript" however you feel is best), style an appropriate line height for the block elements in which you use the superscripts, and just let those who must (or feel they must) set their own minimum font size do whatever they want to do to louse up their reading. -- Regards, Gene Falck gfa...@merr.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
