Re: [WSG] Pixel to Em conversion - understanding IRONY
OK, I'm getting a little worried here. Some of the recent posts have used a relatively new concept called irony. For those who haven't heard of this, here is a brief description: Irony is a form of speech in which the real meaning is concealed or contradicted by the words used. Irony involves the perception that things are not what they are said to be or what they seem. So, when people are posting messages about using large images with alt attributes, spacer gifs etc, you can rest assured that they are using this new fangled irony thing. Feel free to try it out on your friends... Lots of fun.
