Georg, the fix doesn't suggest putting different values on html and body (or did I miss the whole point?).
I understood the solution to be setting body and/or html to 100.01% and then setting any other styles and text-level attributes with ems or %. Did I get it wrong? I've just done a complete run of screenshots using the above method and can still see some variations in size, particularly at larger sizes (h1-h3). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gunlaug Sørtun Sent: Friday, 23 September 2005 9:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WSG] Clearleft.com Andy Budd wrote: >> Why don't you ask mister Rutter? http://www.clagnut.com/blog/348/ > > You know what, I must have known this at some stage as I always set % > on the body tag to avoid problems with font sizing in IE.

I thought it was a quite descriptive "name" for an old bug. Must be a flaw in my Norwenglish... :-) Seriously though; if solving it by setting 'font-size: 100%;' on 'html' and em-value on 'body', then better make sure it _is_ '100%' and _no_ other value on 'html'. Otherwise it looks like we may have a nice, but unwanted, variation of font-sizes across browser-land. Test 1: html {font-size: 100%;} body {font-size: 1em;} ... should result in 1em as base. Test 2: html {font-size: 200%;} body {font-size: 0.5em;} ... should result in 1em as base. Test 3: html {font-size: 50%;} body {font-size: 2em;} ... should result in 1em as base. Only IE/win gave me the indicated results (1em). Opera)8.50) and Firefox(1.5b1) didn't agree on anything but test 1. - Can anyone confirm (or correct) this result? - What about other browsers? regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
