i am asking because i want to adjust the size of the text on my site
according to the width of the browser window.

thanks!

Please don't.

Be a professional and make the site adjust to MY settings, not the other way
around. Most people I know hate when sites do that.

Your plan is doomed to fail because the visitor can resize the text anyway,
via View, Text Size. And while this doesn't affect text you size in px, in,
dm, mm, pt, or pc in IE, the corresponding command *does* resize those
measurements in Netscape, Forefox, and other browers.

The options under Tools, Internet Options, Accessability throw another
monkey wrench into your plans.
