RE: FN-FORUM CSS length units

This is a bone of contention around web-designers methinks. The best
advice I found about lengths is basically avoid pt like the plague.
Check out www.richinstyle.com for some really helpful info about lengths
and CSS. I would personally use px as preference but occasionally use
ems if the situation calls for it. If you do use ems though, you need to
make sure your CSS sheet is properly structered otherwise it will all go
to pot.

Check out that site though.

What CSS length units are you lot using now? em, px, % or pt?

I can't decide which to go for where the font-family is "Verdana,
Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" and the target browser is Internet
Explorer. Microsoft itself seems to go for px.

Cheers, Marion
