Re: [WSG] Percentages

[James Ellis]

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%;
}

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>

    <li>I am 90%</li>

  <ul>

      <li>I am 81%</li>

    <ul>

        <li>I am 72.9%</li>

    </ul>

  </ul>

</ul>

 

example: http://development.tacofleur.com/index/site/private/

??????

 

There are a few more places where this is happening through my site besides within the <li> although I have not found the cause for it, but I'm sure it is also related to using percentages.

Am I doing something wrong, did I miss something?
