Font sizing

Wednesday, November 17th, 2004

As well as through the font checking utilities on this site, the perennial problem of font sizing methods acceptable for all browsers is discussed by Owen Briggs at his site. He supplies some handy cross-browser comparison screen shots.

Owen leans towards using percentages due to their compatability. I’ve recently started setting html {font-size:100%} then body {font-size:90%} and em units throughout the rest of the style sheet. Wondering whether it may be best to go back to using percentages only as it doesn’t seem to make much difference as long as the base font is set at 100%.

Web Standards Group

Since joining the Web Standards Group mail list, I’ve been updating and learning new CSS skills which will be very handy.

By far the most useful forum I’ve ever found on styling tricks, it’s extremely active, full of specific resources.

Z-indexing

Saturday, September 18th, 2004

Useful article on relative and absolute positioning with CSS2 here.

I’m still looking for a solution to floating the text and client news box divs on my index page which allows me to specify a fixed width for the box and no width for the text so it expands to fit which will work in both IE and Firefox. Thus, at present I have gravitated to absolute positioning of the divs which has a disadvantage in that if the news box becomes too long it obscures the footer div.
