I started using
percentages for font-size after they were recommended on this
list.
However, I see a few
issues, which might be easily corrected??
For example when I
set the following properties in the style sheet
li
{
font-size: 90%
}
now consider the
following
ul ul { font-size: 100%; }
so everytime you hit a nested you reset your size to 100%.
Cheers
Mark

Hi Taco,
There are two issues here.
1. The html sample is invalid as the nested list must be inside an li
element, not between them.
Blah
2. a simple rule will fix this, as it is simply applying the percentage size
to nested elements:
li { font-size: 90%; }
li li { font-siz
How about setting the ul to 100% and the li to 90%.. so you are setting
li's to 90% of the ul..
Possibly could do this as well...
ul li
{
font-size : 90%;
}

And that 100% is then actually the 90% I actually wanted in the first place?

The sample was invalid, wasn't thinking, but its not how I had it on my
site. (just did a double check, and it is too! Fixed now)
li li { font-size: 100%; }
Did the trick, cheers guys.

While text will stop at the edge of a floated item, borders and background
colours will extend under a floated item - this is normal float behaviour.

Hmm, it's a global include so if I'd tweak it for one page then it would be
tweaked for all, which is not what I want..
I guess the only way around it will be to remove the border and background.
It's normal behavior you say, is it also correct behavior? i.e. is it

Hey Taco
Have you thought about using a class on the body tag to identify that
specific page & write custom rules for it. I have found that this is often
useful in solving similar problems.

Yes, this is correct behaviour. The background of your comments div should
slide under the floated item - the right nav. The foreground (the text)
should not slide under, instead it should stop against the edge of the
floated item.
There is a good reason for it. The reason for this is to do with a

Mark, That is an excellent example!
I'd use ID whenever the item is unique on a page - as it would have to be

point when/if there is a conflict.
