em's are somewhat like cubits and leagues. The typographers will give you a full discourse, or six, about them. (A lot of the discourse will even be interesting. )Consider an em to be 15px or 16px if you think size matters. And actually size does matter since an em will scale. As font settings are changed, em sizes with the changes. So 16 at 100% (unless you, the end user, redefine 100%) and 32ish at 200%. Being somewhat mystical is an advantage. And is furthermore part and parcel of the advantages of fluid designs implicit in separating presentation and content. Amazingly it all does fit together. andy ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
