just a quick question for all you guys who are pros at the user interface end of web design... how do you best cater for different screen resolutions in terms of page widths and font sizes? I would be inclined to use % for widths and just specify a point size for fonts. Is this the best method to use? I just find it hard to sort out sites for different resolutions other than the one i have used whilst building the site. Any help on this would be appreciated.
 
The ideal scenario is ems for fonts and then consequently for layout (elastic design) - you retain the advantages or fluid layouts but prevent its negatives such as line flow ending in a single line etc.
 
ok will try the ems and see how it goes! I am just trying to find a more consistent workflow for the sites that I am working on. Its a constant learning experience for me! So do you recommend using % for div widths for example instead of specifying a pixel setting?
