px is obviously a relative unit (relative to the users screen) unless your going to try to say everyone views stuff at the same dpi. It's late so perhaps I'm missing it but I do not see anywhere in the spec that you cited where it says px is absolute. However I will quote loosely from the spec: "values with relative units (em, ex, px) must be made absolute by multiplying with the appropriate font or pixel size," So, go ahead and try what I suggested THEN tell me it's not right. Using px WILL make it more consistent across win, linux, mac, etc.. and will not inhibit the browsers ability to enlarge the text size at all... > > > BTW: I bet you'd find the same issues if you looked at your pages on a > > MAC as well... > > You'd have the same problems on any computer where the user has fiddled with > the default font settings. No, the problem he stated was the inconsistency of sizes on different platforms. A totally addressable issues regardless of what the user has done with the default font settings. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
