my take on css :

text wise ...

ok so my general grasp and idea on css is that ... you can make the text / color / size that you make it look like and impliment in your originally designed layout and on your screen and make everyone see the EXACT same thing? in each and every resolution .. monitor size etc ?



ok so im working on a page... my friend sees this ...

thanks :)

All I see is basically a difference in font size. That's a specific area that's impossible to control because most browser vendors get the fundamental base font size wrong. The tightest control you can have is to specify font-size in px but there is still no guarantee and IE/Win users will not be able to zoom the fonts if they need to for readibility. A number of the CSS hotspots like ALA and Zeldman have articles about the font sizing dilemma.
