Font-size 75.01% - Why ???

[xmas3]

Hello,
in the css is default font-size set to 75.01%.
Why is it so? Why is it not 75%?

Can somebody explain it to me?
Thanks a lot,
bye

Let me guess:
- Internet Explorer goes crazy when a value of 75% or lower is set.

Really,
it is something new for me...
I am going to find something more about this bug on internet.
Thanks.

its a hack to get the font to be same size on every browser (couldnt find the source right now)

hello,
it looks like that the 75.01% is for IE for MacOS.
Usually I use this:

Code: Select all

body{font-size: small;}
html>body { font-size: medium; }	/* CSS hack for IE quirk */

I am not sure if it is a best solution, let me know if you have a better one.
