IE ignores fractional components of percentages - or, as another
way of
looking at it, only uses the first two decimal places of em based
sizes -
which means that any subsequent use of ems for sizing parts of the
page
won't work properly.
Very interesting Nick, I wasn't aware of the decimal place
limitation in
IE. Another negative point racked up against the Clagnut ems method,
which is a shame because I liked the simple and elegant idea behind
it.
Looks like I'm still on the hunt for the definitive font-sizing
technique then.
When dealing with this the other year, I came up with this solution
requiring an additional div, which happened to be there anyway:
body {
font-size: 125%; /* bump it up to 20px, assuming browser starts
at 16px */
}
div#wrapper {
font-size: 50%; /* and back down to 10px */
}
and took it from there :-)
(Still falls foul of a minimum font-size set in the browser
preferences, though.)
Cheers,
Nick.
