I know everything is already decided and this is essentially a dead thread. But might I say again that fixing px to 96dpi creates a px unit that is not even useful. The only reason people use px is because a lot of designs are constrained by sizes of images. A lot of pages have JPEG banners and the text area needs to be exactly the same width as the JPEG banner. If we cannot rely on 1 image pixel = 1px then I don't see how the px unit serves any purpose. -- cheers, -ambrose does anyone know how to fix Snow Leopard? it broke input method switching and is causing many typing mistakes and is very annoying
