I'm guessing, but I see 2 potential problems there:

Have you checked that?

If CSS was reporting 600px before despite the fact that it is 780px, then I 
think you cannot set 
a new size reliably using CSS.

I bet that CSS will do the rounding for you always.


This discussion is just one more reason to add to why I don't like this new 
behaviour of 
zooming all the content in the page. As far as I know IE introduced it first, 
so I quickly 
disabled it (as a user), then I was angry when Firefox followed trend (after 
all, we use Ff 
because we prefer its ways to IE's, don't we?). It breaks all fluid pages, it 
is just designed for 
fixed-pixel-sixe designs, which I think are bad. I'm probably alone in this 
opinion, since so 
many people do their designs in absolute pixels instead of relative, fluid 
units.
