~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was unable to connect to David's page, but found a lot of very useful
information on Georg's write-up at the above link.
Sadly, Georg's solution for sizing in EMs does not work on my
computer. The calculations are based on the usual screen resolution
of 96 DPI, where IE computes 12 points at 16 pixels. My laptop comes
set to 120 DPI, and IE computes 12 points at 20 pixels here.
I was able to come up with a hybrid JavaScript solution based on Georg's
work, but the IE 'expressions' slow down IE too much for my liking.
In the end, I went with a fixed width for IE 5 and 6. :-(
Cordially,
David
