Hmm - I based my reply on an inability to find it in Cascading Style Sheets 2.0! |

Are you sure? Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. Why is top-posting so annoying? |

link, visited, hover, and active do not have to be in any specific order. |

It means nothing because its not relative to any metric commonly used (pixels
are) and could quite possibly display inconsistent accross browsers. It might
look okay to you within IE, but text could look microscopic to a user who has
IE on mac, because the mac version doesn't correctly understand mm's.

I can not confirm that style="font-size:10mm;", for example, "means nothing on the web". However I know this: 1) It works fine in Internet Explorer 6.0, |
But: What are 10mm on different screens? What are 10mm on different
resolutions? What are 10mm on different operating systems? What are 10mm
on different browsers? What are 10mm on different font-sizes?
You know _nothing_ about the output device the client will use and its
preferences. Using units like pt or mm is like gambling, the results are
unpredictable. They are converted to px values by the user agents and
the underlying OS, but you can't tell how. It may work on your system,
but fail rather dramatically on others.
pt and mm may be useful for print stylesheets (if you assume that the
page will be printed on A4 for example), but they are useless and rather
dangerous for screen layouts.

1) It works fine in Internet Explorer 6.0, |
character dimensions.
How big is 10mm on my screen? How big is it on Eric Meyer's screen? I can
tell you this - it's not 10mm. That's about as close to meaning nothing as
you can get.
10mm is good for printed pages. It's lousy for web pages.

Drop the following code in between <BODY> tags, and you'll clearly see 4 different sizes. |
system will be different because our screen resolutions are not the same.
Use a screen metric like pixels, or use ems or exs or percents or size names
(like small), but don't use a print metric on the web.

Murray, I can not confirm that style="font-size:10mm;", for example, "means nothing on the web". However I know this: 1) It works fine in Internet Explorer 6.0, 2) It's implemented in Dreamweaver MX 2004 (right click on a valid Web page in Dreamweaver MX 2004, select CSS Style >, select New..., and click OK. Select Type, put a numeric value in Size, select the dropdown to the right of it, and select mm). 3) It's implemented in TopStyle 3 (Lite) under "CSS Level 2". Drop the following code in between <BODY> tags, and you'll clearly see 4 different sizes. p style="font-size:8mm;">Hello mm World!</p p style="font-size:10mm;">Hello mm World!</p p style="font-size:12mm;">Hello mm World!</p p style="font-size:14mm;">Hello mm World!</p It _does_ seem to have meaning. What I'm not clear on is what you mean by "That's a print metric...". Could you exlpain, please? ----- Michael, I may be wrong, but I'm assuming 3mm means "3 millimetre font size", as 12pt is 12 point font size, as 9px is 9 pixel font size. Gracias & Regards, Chris |

Thanks - but I meant the even loftier tome of Cascading Style Sheets 2.0.... |
The Definitive Guide, Second Edition". Pages 76 - 77 and 94 - 95,
respectively, if you mean "Cascading Style Sheets 2.0 Programmer's
Reference".
If you meant something else, then I don't know.
