Interesting. I've never thought of specifying image

size in em's.  The problem of image degradation would

still be an issue, I'm sure, since an image may be

specified for display in em's in a browser, but would still start

its life in pixels (if it's not a vector graphic), unlike text, which isn't an

enlargement of a static entity, but is created anew

in larger dimensions.

 

Something to think about, however.

Rick, I have not gotten into it too much because it has not been a requirement, 
having just the
alt/title tags is usually enough, but there has been talk over at the EPA 
accessiblity testing group
to require setting width and height of images using EM instead of PX.  This is 
so that if a user
bumps up the text size (ctrl +) that the image will get bigger at the same 
ratio.  Of course the
text would need to be in EM also. This is something that I personally have not 
gotten into yet, but
it may become a requirement for one of my contracts.

What does your friend do about images?  Enlarging the text would be a start,
but if I were having great difficulty viewing the screen, I would want a
solution that allows me to view images, as well.
