In what cases are fractional pixels drawn? I see fractional widths being returned here, but it seems to be drawing rounded to the nearest pixel: http://ephemera.continuation.org/percentage-width.html > Why would they report a width or height that is different than how they are > displayed?

Sorry, I meant to write "but Firefox", but somehow missed that. Safari, Chrome, and Opera all return values rounded to the nearest pixel. -- Brian
