By relative size, you mean like if someone uses t font size="-3" in a post? Those will definitely work correctly.

t edit Never mind -- I get your point. As long as you are defining different elements within a style in two different sheets (e.g. font name in one sheet and font size in another), it doesn't matter what order the sheets are in.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, I meant how we have styles now like:

h1 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 36px; font-style: normal ; color: #990000}
.biggertext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal}
.smallertext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal}
.nametext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold}

Will we have to hand calculate the 36 for every variant base size, or can H1 be a relative size to the body text, and we just tweak the body?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I should probably just hit up w3c.

Or the CSS-Discuss wiki. I found it better for finding what I needed at work when I still was doing CSS stuff for that.

The latter.

Why are the fonts in px?

Well, never mind my edit above then. There should be a way to do what you're saying, shouldn't there? But I don't recall the code.

As opposed to what? I had a reason. I don't remember what it was.

Thanks for that link!

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I have a suggestion...

In the profile center it would be helpful to have the "OK" button at the top too. I like to change my tag a lot and it would be nice to have the button right there instead of having to scroll past all the other things just to get to the button.

Probably Netscape support.

I think you're right. Looking at that Wiki, while they tend to recommend the "Ems and Percentages" approach, it's the px approach that is most consistant between browsers.
