[css-d] page check-positioning gap, font issues/questions
http://www.ricochet.org/ricochet2/company_principal.html i haven't yet viewed the page in msie; only opera and firefox on the mac. i'll deal with msie when the page is stable gap issue: at the top of the page (on top of yellow box and menus), i'm getting a gap. i've tried zeroing out margins and padding, but am obviously missing something. font question/issue originally, i speced .8em font size on html/body looked and worked fine. i know it's a no-no as i've been informed it causes issue in msie, i have been taught (by a list member) to use 100% on body and rescale further down the document. when i use 100% on body/html, and move the .8em to the wrapper, i don't get what i'm looking for. it would be nice to size the font once and forget it. suggestions... i know only a print designer would use such small type... what can i say? thanks in advance ron __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

gap issue:

/gap/
Add
h1 { margin-top : 0; }
/fonts/
Right now you've got a mixed bag of %/px.
If you want to use em's it's:
html{
font-size: 100%; --- so IE will not go goofy ::
}
body {
font: 0.8em Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; em on the body
}
And em's (not px thereafter)
Best,

You had 'html, body {font-size: .8em;}'
That equals 'html {font-size: .8em;}' = 80% followed by 'body
{font-size: .8em;}' = 80%, and the sum of 80% x 80% is around 65%.
html {font-size: 100%;}
body {font-size: .65em;}
...or any other combination that starts with percentage and ends up at
around 65%, will give you a starting-point around the 65% of normal
browser default you're aiming for. So, declaring...
html {/* no font size */}
body {font-size: 65%;}
...will end up where you started without triggering any IE/win bugs.
Side note: do I have to remind you that starting small makes it less
likely that the actual font size will survive 'minimum font size' in a
few browsers..?
