[css-d] font :wqx-height

Hello, Different font-series have different x-heights. Normally you give list of font-names to choose from. Unfortunately, some fonts will show bigger than others on the list. This can have a negative effect on readability. Is it possible to set the size of a font, based on the font selected by th

[css-d] Best practice for class/id capitalisation?

How do you name classes and IDs, and why? I used to stick to all lowercase, but am starting to use CamelCase for ease of reading (e.g. #HeaderMain rather than #header-main). This means I also capitalise short names, e.g. #Content or .Clearer. Makes no difference? Or are there practical considerat

Hello, Thank you all for your information. This seems to be an issue not resolved yet. There is one thing that asks for a reply. I know that fonts should not be set to a fixed value, but a size has to be set to make it look 'nice'. After that the user can change that to whatever he likes or need

Dan, You got the answer, just not the way you think you did. The line *html #textright {mar\gin: .5em .5em 0em 1em} is a MSIE hack, and isn't a problem with Firefox. The problem was that it was like this: *html #textright (mar\gin: . 5em .5em 0em 1em}...the first bracket was a parenthesis i
