[WSG] Site Check-YBF

2007-12-02 Thread CK

Hi All,

Could use a site check(http://working.bushidodeep.com/impress/ybf/ 
index.html). Mostly cross-browser display. Doing my best to migrate  
previous code and client to Standards. Any suggestions for changes  
under-the-hood are welcome. I would like to focus on text-resizing  
without breaking the design, and readable font-size, without gigantism.




Best Wishes,
Chris

A readable font-size, without gigantism as you put it, is a matter of 
opinion and is a users call. Some designers leave users in control by 
setting default on the body and allow the primary content text to 
inherit it. And they throughly test the site to at least 200% in 
compliant browsers and text-size largest in IE6 and 7.


As it stands some stuff on your pages break at minimum font-size 24px 
and at +2 in compliant browsers: the same breaking occurs if /your 
frozen fonts/ are ignored and IE6 and IE7 are viewed at text-size 
largest. Ensuring adequate  width for horizontal font expansion and not 
restricting height will help. Of course, not freezing the fonts, for IE 
users would be nice-- but I personally don't care as I ignore them all 
the time anyway...


Best,
