This is a first, real post to the list so I hope I've got the posting conventions right...
I'm writing a web site the first (test) page of which you can see at: http://www.peredur.uklinux.net/PlaceForWords/ When I try to scale up or down (Ctrl+ or Ctrl-), the header stays the same size. I've given it an explicit height of 16em and an implicit width of 100%, and I was expecting it to scale, ems being scalable and all that. Even with implicit width and height, it doesn't scale. Scaling up isn't too bad, but on scaling down, the menu and main text soon finds itself on top of the banner. It scales OK when the browser window is resized (althought that doesn't alter the font size, of course). I can live with this as I guess that the ability to scale up is more important than the ability to scale down, but if anyone knows of a better way to code it, I'd be very grateful. I had to give the banner an explicit height, BTW, because without it there were differences in rendering between FF on Linux and FF on Windows (the menu was pushed down level with the first paragraph of the main content - something to do with font scaling between the platforms, I guess). I got the same problem with IE on Linux vs IE on Windows, as well. So I thought an explicit height would be safer. The other problem I have is an IE6 one. In IE6, the left borders of the list items in the bottom-menu don't appear. Again, I can live with this if I have to, but if there's a solution I'd be grateful to know what it is.
