I am trying to establish a foundation for an em based layout and I am  
seeing some discrepancies between Firefox 2 and Safari 3.1.2 on the  
mac that I had not noticed before.
My example file I am referencing is available at 
http://www.jasoncampbell.com/CSS

I have a simple setup here in this example. I have set the font-size  
for the body of my document to 62.5% my understanding is that by doing  
this I am, in effect, setting a base font size of roughly ten pixels.  
I then have a content div on the page with a width set to 98em which I  
am hoping in this case equates to a 980px wide area. In this div I  
have a bg image of 980px set.

When I view the page in Firefox 2 everything is wonderful, full image,  
etcetera. However in Safari 3.1.2 to see the full bg image I have to  
increase the base font-size to 71.5%

Is this right? I thought this was something that worked in both of  
these browsers, any insight is appreciated.
J.
