You are designing web pages for yourself? Web pages are typically designed for other people who visit them. Their equipment may range from mobile phones through low-end office PCs to high-end graphics workstations. So if the page usability depends on readability of an element that is only available in certain pixel size I would not call it accessible. If you do not care how it looks what do you design then? The look is part of the design for visual browsers, Thanks Michal > > > On Aug 11, 2009, at 7:33 AM, Michal Suchanek wrote: > >> 2009/8/11 Theresa Mesa <trixiesirishe...@gmail.com>: >>> >>> But...the web isn't print.
