Thanks, I wasn't aware that NN 6.x were betas. I'll stop fretting now. Yesterday I went a bit insane and downloaded 20+ old browsers. My thinking was this, "It will be awesome if I can make my sites work in everything." The odds of anyone using an old Netscape are about as good as the odds of my head quantum tunneling through my desk as I bang it in frusteration. But there's always a chance.
As for the font sizes, I'm still working off this old ALA article. It's two years old now, though. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/elastic/ Is pt now preferred over ems? I've not stayed in the loop as much as I should have. The advantage I see of ems with a 90~% font size is that the text is readable at any IE size, from smallest to largest. With ems, but without 90% font size in place, the actual size change from smallest to largest is far too drastic. Smallest becomes impossibly small, and largest is so big that it breaks the layout. 90% font size makes the users' size changes significant, but not extreme. In IE, pt seems to have the same problem as px, it cannot be resized by the user. I would be happy to learn a better method, of course. -- Michael Clayton www.twilighted.com On 3/8/06, Felix Miata <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> almost certainly wrote: Do your browser stats actually show a material number of people using > those insecure, buggy, slow, old, beta browser versions?
