Your Text: Insert Slimies » Insert UBB Code » Close Last Tag \| All Tags UBB Help	Thank you DL-44 I understand..but it doesn't help convert a 100px/100px graphic to "em"... There seem to be many solutions to this but the best I have found so far: I uploaded a page without setting the "font-size." I specified font: Georgia, serif, With the Calipers I measured each font at default medium view in all the browsers. On my machine, at my resolution, the measurement was Letter M=10px That was identical for mozilla, navigator and IE. That is MY MACHINE..MY RESOLUTION but it seems to be a good "rule of thumb." I will try to upload the page and check it on other computers. I like some of the suggestions Poi and others had..but for a quick, down and dirty way to do this on My Machine...1em=10px Poi's solution is intriguing ..but too specific .. Slimes solution is already being done by Opera There is a "Default" conversion factor..or I wouldn't be able to measure identical values of "medium" or "100%" on all browsers...and pages would not load properly when "font size" is not specified. IE does not resize all elements. The amount of zoom or resize is limited..so the text bleeds..but..not much. I looked at about 30 different pages..there aren't any absolute solutions at 300+ zoom but there are many pages that look good or the problem is minimized when they are resized. I am studying those pages that look good for techniques that will give greater accessibility.. Thank you...Dl-44 for your patience and your answers! (now, just a little question about light and shading on a button? :)) Loading...
