Seems to me the 76% and em sizing solution is a hack. The person who developed that hack took 250 screenshots to find just the right way to achieve the results they were after. I admire the use of experimentation but I doubt it is maintainable. You think 3 years from now 76% will still be the magic number? Or will some new version of IE or Firefox change the results of that experiment?
You're right. And I for one, would love to just use 1em as the default font-size. Ideally that's what everyone should do because the web is viewed on so many different devices these days that we should let each device render 1em the best way it can. BUT of course we all have to please someone and bosses/clients often don't give a damn about that and only want it to look a certain way that is pleasing to them. Thus the fight for balance between being able to control presentation but making it compatible with as most software/devices possible. Thus the hunt for hacks goes on.... -- Andrew Tetlaw htp://tetlaw.id.au _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
