Just a little comment: usually I will put the font-size: 62.5% on the
body element instead of the HTML element. Doing it this way I've never
had an issue, even in IE (back to at least 5.5). Placing it on the HTML
element seems a bit goofy to me since the HTML element can never have
font anyways.

I have always been told to use something along the lines of either
body { font-size: 100%; /* a fix for internet explorer */ } because of
the way IE reads/sizes font. Starting out with html at only 62.5%
font-sizing would completely mess up IE and the font in the browser
would it not?

Hi,
Would you elaborate on why the CSS rule invalidates the article?
As it appears the authors explanation is sound.
html {
font-size: 62.5%;
}

S,
See this article from "Links for light Reading" scrolling
down a bit you'll
find a JS solution that may prove useful:

That article ceased to be credible as soon as I saw:
"My suggestion for you is to do the following: start your CSS
stylesheet with
html {
font-size: 62.5%;
}
"

Is the box model in IE7 still messed up? I thought
they sorted it?
It is fixed in standards mode, but I think it uses the broken
model
in quirks mode.
I am floating a div to the right with a width of 50%.
The div to the left
has a right margin of 50%. I've put a 1px solid border
on both of them. In
IE7 there is a gap between them but in Firefox they
are right against each
other.
Go figure?
