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

[css-d] font-size property on body element

Hello all, I'm asking myself this question and I'm hoping someone could help me solve it. On past posts, we have been talking on applying font-size to elements that actually contain text and not, on containers of other elements because, that could lead to visual inconsistencies and unnecessarily c
