Hi there,
I made the following page using CSS (a lot of new CSS that I'd never
used before): http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~mfarrell/
It shows up fine in IE, but in Mozilla the height of the "main" div
doesn't stretch to fit the content. So my CSS must be wrong somehow,
as I suspect Mozilla respects CSS standards more.
The style sheet is here: http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~mfarrell/kotd-style.css
If anyone knows what I messed up, please let me know. Thanks! 8  1561

Why? What's wrong with my preferred size? Why do they see a need to shrink
the text so small I have to resize??
Sorry, but a site which purports to advocate good practice which then
breaks good practice is a less than optimal resource.

That page does not suggest using that code. If you provide a URL to a page
that does, I might be able to come up with a reasonable response.

The page goes into a discussion of why point sizing is inappropriate. Yet
it serves an inappropriate font-size.
On http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=UsingKeywords they state:
"In modern browsers rendering in Standards Mode, body {font-size: medium;}
produces text equal in size to the browser default, whatever size that may
be, and equal in size to that from body {font-size: 100%;} and body
{font-size: 1em;}."
So why serve general text at smaller than the default, which for some
users is smaller than they want to read, and for others is not a usability
issue anyhow?
If the local law enforcement is commiting crime, it certainly undermines
their right to arrest me for mine. Similarly, a page claiming to advocate
good practice should not be employing techniques which clearly are not.

Oooooh, the style sheet for that site.
Well, the site is a wiki, so the author(s) of the content and the author(s)
of the stylesheet are very probably not the same people.

Lots of issues here . . . .
1. Font size is too small for me to comfortably read it, and the page
doesn't respond to font size changes in the browser.
2. Your navigation styling makes it very difficult to tell what's a link
and what's not a link.
3. You've embedded styles in the actual page. I was under the (probably
mistaken) impression that XHTML strict would be devoid of styling. All
styling should go in style sheets.
4. Finally, to address your original question, please see the following

multi-column layouts with CSS that degrade gracefully using different
browsers and resolutions.

Also, while I agree that the body text should not be set to anything other
then the user's preference, this is a matter of some debate with a great
many people falling on the side of the fence marked "Users are idiots and
expect us to set font sizes smaller then Microsoft pick for them".
