CSS Techniques. 1.1 Using em or percent for properties that need to change This technique supposedly relates to Guideline 1.3 Ensure that information, functionality, and structure are separable from presentation. Which is fair enough. However there are no criteria relating to this technique. Can I assume that this is then a recommendation and that the setting of absolute widths on text say, is permissible to gain AAA compliance? 1.2 Using px for properties that do not need to be changed The old guidelines said that you were only supposed to use relative units, however pixels are defined as relative units. These 2 techniques open up a problem that was never fully resolved (at least not to me) in version 1. While the original version was too strict, these techniques seem too subjective. Is it acceptable from an accessibility standpoint, to have a fixed width layout specified in pixels and text specified in em's? Andy Budd http://www.message.uk.com/
