Re: [css-d] Font size on Blackberry PRIV

Browsers already set a px size on their own, usually 16px = 1em/100%/1rem but can be set by the user. Setting the body to 100% or 1em or 1rem is basically setting the body to the users default size. Then any % or em or rem measurements on elements will build off of this. So a div that is in the

My web site at http://new.gigaplusargyll.co.uk displays OK on most screen sizes (it's not perfect yet), but a colleague who has a Blackberry PRIV (late 2016 model) reports that the text size is far too large. This is perhaps surprising for an Android phone (but I've seen it for myself), and

You can spec font-size of 100% on the body. This respects the users preference settings in their browser. You can then spec element font size in ems. The 16px is usually the default size set in browsers upon install.  — Sent from Mailbox for iPhone On Thu, Apr 18, 2013 at 5:54 PM, COM

Oh dear new year... a) The ul list on the blue column should be vertically centered. b) The text of the first item on the ul list on the blue column should be, top aligned, with the titles of the grey column. This could have a min-height defined and should NOT follow the column height:

Re: [css-d] font-size smaller on IE 8 [error correction]

The best web site designs are resolution agnostic, meaning they work similarly well regardless of a user's display resolution. Display resolution by itself is meaningless. Only when coupled to knowledge of the display's size can the knowledge of its resolution become useful. I will try my
