creating designs that resize well goes a long way towards improving the accessibility of the web. i suggest setting a pixel font size for the body and using ems for your units of measurement thereafter. that way, everything will be in proportion to that font size, and will get bigger and smaller with the text. for some things, of course, pixels are still fine. it depends on the situation and which part of the design it will affect. i always, always make sure my sites can be resized to at least 2 sizes above their default. accessibility. it's the future. ·skye· ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
