Re: [PLUG] Code snippet site launch


Basically you want to use em and not px for page sizing, character sizing.
px does not scale with font size change, em does. Since I don't use an
(html) editor here I don't know how that would be achieved using one. I
just went trhough a page converting everything that was defined in px to
em and it worked fine in scaling.
