    Hi all
    When i apply padding to a div element using em's as the chosen unit of measurement i seem to get different results between IE and Firefox the element looks far larger in IE. Is there a simple explanation for this? Would appreciate you thoughts on this.
    regards Martyn

    Hmmm, I'm no expert on this, but I seem to remember reading that setting font-size:100% on your html element sets a baseline for IE to calculate em values from, resulting in more accurate resizing.

    I could be completely off-track of course.

    Best thing would be to post a link to a demo page so we can check it out and offer suggestions.
