I started using
percentages for font-size after they were recommended on this
list.
However, I see a few
issues, which might be easily corrected??
For example when I
set the following properties in the style sheet
li
{
font-size: 90%
}
now consider the
following
ul
ul ul { font-size: 100%; }
so everytime you hit a nested ul you reset your size to 100%.
Cheers
Mark

How about setting the ul to 100% and the li to 90%.. so you are setting
li's to 90% of the ul..
Possibly could do this as well...
ul li
{
font-size : 90%;
}

The sample was invalid, wasn't thinking, but its not how I had it on my
site. (just did a double check, and it is too! Fixed now)
li li { font-size: 100%; }
Did the trick, cheers guys.

Hi Taco,
If you're stuck for a subject header, this great resource, found by
following links from a recently posted link by Mark Stanton, has a good
section on writing effective,
oh man, I'm such a luser! Good stuff though, at least now I understand why I get

Taco,
While text will stop at the edge of a floated item, borders and background
colours will extend under a floated item - this is normal float behaviour.
You can see this in operation here:

Hey Taco
Have you thought about using a class on the body tag to identify that
specific page write custom rules for it. I have found that this is often
useful in solving similar problems.

Yes, this is correct behaviour. The background of your comments div should
slide under the floated item - the right nav. The foreground (the text)
should not slide under, instead it should stop against the edge of the
floated item.
There is a good reason for it. The reason for this is to do with
Hi Mark,
Nope, I did not think about that, sounds interesting how would that work?
However again, there is an issue, i.e. when you see the site there is only
ONE page that contains this layout - all the other page are just dsp pages
and contain nothing but ptext/p and get included in the layout
I understand where you are coming from Taco. This sort of feeling is not
uncommon for mailing lists and forums that cover potentially complex
subject matter. The fear of being flamed is usually unwarranted though.

Mark, That is an excellent example!
I'd use ID whenever the item is unique on a page - as it would have to be
here. ID's have more specificity than classes and that may be needed at some
point when/if there is a conflict.

something in the CSS)

The client's description of:

sounds like the infamous FUSC , or Flash of Unstyled Content.

Yes - same story here. IE 6 on XP crashes with a Send this error to MS
type dialog.
Something is very evil on that page
HI
It crashes safari for me, except when I comment out this bit:
#content p:first-letter
{
font-size: 1.5em;
vertical-align: -5px;
text-indent: 2px;
}

Thanks Alastair, do you simply adding a comment before that statement
I use BBedit, which has a comment function, it gives something like
this:
/* #content p:first-letter */
/* { */
/* font-size: 1.5em; */
/* vertical-align: -5px; */
/* text-indent: 2px; */
/* } */
