Your approach looks fine, so far. > So my base font-size will be 63% (to give a base font of marginally > over 10px and avoiding the fractional percentage issue with IE). You should avoid setting such a small font-size as base. A font-size base of 100% or 125% will work better (see below). --- Not setting any base font-size on body, and avoiding 'em' for font-sizes further in, will allow you to work around IE6' lack of support for 'max-width' too. It does work, actually... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/moa_12.html> ...although it may make the design-process slightly more complex since it looks like a /reversed approach/ to 'elastic - liquid hybrid layout'. > Is this a good approach, and if not, could you clarify?
