[Javascript] OT: CSS/Text size on IE

[Andrew Crawford]

That seems to be a problem with using absolute font size specifications 
(points or pt) that breaks the larger and smaller functionality of 
browsers.  Try using the em unit for measurement.  That will specify font 
size based on the user's default font size setting, making it a lot more 
friendly to their general browsing preferences.

I am sure there are better references but, here is one:
