The best bet is to never specify absolute sizes or require specific absolute sizes for your site to work. Use the default sizes the user selected with scaling by percentages, eMs, etc. The web is not a print medium; one can't treat it like one is designing or laying out a print ad. Leave the user in control. Unlike those stupid bastards that design their web site using fonts set at "8px" or "11px" size ... that's 8 or 11 pixels tall. Q: How big is a pixel? A: Pixels aren't any particular size. Some browsers allow the user to forcibly resize even the work of those fatherless gits, but not all browsers do. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
