body { font-size: 100.01%; } vs body { font-size: 100%; }?
cross-browser, css, xhtml
Solution
The declaration `body (or html) { font-size: 100.01% }` compensates rounding errors, in particular in older versions of Opera and Safari. Both would otherwise display fonts that are too small.
A relative font-size (%, em) is always interpreted relative to the font size of the parent element. So it's not a bad idea to implement kind of a initial reset in the top element, which you can achieve with `body {font-size: 100%}`.
Problem
What should i keep for `body`, `{font-size: 100.01%; }` or `{ font-size: 100%; }`? what is `{font-size: 100.01%; }`? and is it really good to mention font-size in `html{}` even If I'm using `body {font-size: 62.5%;}` Edit : 3 May 2010 Today i found info about `100.01%` at here - http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=FAF76&print=true This odd 100.01% value for the font size compensates for several browser bugs. First, setting a default body font size in percent (instead of em) eliminates an IE/Win problem with growing or shrinking fonts out of proportion if they are later set in ems in other elements. Additionally, some versions of Opera will draw a default font-size of 100% too small compared to other browsers. Safari, on the other hand, has a problem with a font-size of 101%. The current "best" suggestion is to use the 100.01% value for this property. Is it good to keep `body { font-size:100.01%}` in place of `{font-size:100%}`
