You should be aware that using em on the body can trigger nasty behaviors in IE. Best practice is to define font on the body as 100.01% (plays nice with Opera) then use either percentages or ems on the inner elements. By doing so you can define how you, the designer, wish the page to look, but allow for those who need to do so to resize the font to suit themselves.
Also, to anyone using font sizes in lists, remember that IE6 has a problem with inheritance which can be a bugbear with nested lists.
I'm also going to mention that I have my online web development bookmarks in the Kickass Webgeek Resources section of my website. Those who are tackling the intricacies of css might especially find the
CSS section helpful, since there are numerous categorized links to css layouts, tricks, browser bugs, css-friendly scripts, and much more, all in an easy to decipher format. Most of these links are attributable to the folks on the
CSS-Discuss List, the best group of mentors on the face of the planet (even if they can be a bit feisty at times!)
