The CSS I posted should mean that font sizes are a user's choice - the
size I used was 'small', which is a relative size AFAIK. If the user
pressed Ctrl and + in Firefox, the size of the text would be increased.
However, the WCAG seems to recommend using em units, so maybe it would
be better to use:
div#page {
margin-left: 20%;
width: 60%;
font-size: 0.8em
}
This should have the same effect.
Thanks,
Phil
