I'm just wondering how people handle the IE text resizing problem,
where IE handles percentages much more accurately than em?
You can safely use ems as long as your "highest" font size is
something else, like %.
For instance, as long as you have something like
html { font-size: 100%; }
you can do anything you like with ems after that, like
body { font-size: 0.9em; }
etc
Can you give a technical explanation of what is going on there? What is
happening inside the user agent that once it sets it basic
initialisation through such declarations, after that it can then render
relative units correctly?
