yeah, you're right. I've updated it now using px instead of em, (the 
only way to route around the DPI screen incompatibilities between win 
and mac)
Sorry ... I have not actually looked, but you made me think of this 
.

I find if you set a {font-size: 10px} "before" using {width: 1em} 
(etc.) em works as it should
ie. 'em' scales from the base font-size

I use this a lot on http://www.iniva.org and find most browsers (PC 
MSIE has no scale facility) can scale the site up and down cleanly. ie. 
we want both the font size and layout to scale by the same proportions.

hope this helps

No, to all Mozilla users. Because there are many websites having to 
little fonts. For example www.spiegel.de is a bit strenuous to read in 
default font size,
Looks good to me, btw. I hadn't understand a word, but size is good :)
What I can't read is www.distrowatch.com without pressing Ctrl-+  *at 
least* once (killer feature this ctrl-+!). Sometimes I do it twice ;-)
:-)

Mozilla is gaining market share, btw. Apache.org is a geek site and you 
can see mozilla share around 10%+ and growing (see stats), but recently 
in the press they also noticed growing mozilla share. After some time 
those sites will have to change.
At www.heise.de the Gecko engine is already at 25%:

http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/anw-06.08.03-003/

I hate it especially when homebanking sites force me to use another 
browser. www.dab.com even worked only with the Microsoft Java VM, they 
now switched to a HTML solution - after two years I asked the first 
time. www.diba.de has not been working with Gecko until now, don't know 
if it will change. www.bw-bank.de used the Netscape plugin interface, 
but now they switched to an applet - and this does not work with Gecko. 
What a hard world ... ;-)

Sure. It seems that there's no news about Cocoon 2.1 R.C. at
http://xml.apache.org/news.html

... Why jakarta?? it's because I have a karma of jakarta-site2

so I set it to 11px.

Of course, we should fix this (as Stefano already did), but you can't

Great. Thanks Carsten.

Just one little problem below:

In an era where services rather than software
will be key for economic success, a better and less expensive model
for web publishing will be a winner, especially one based on open

We must change this reference to web publishing.
