Having huge issues getting a site to have scaleable text. it's a legacy site and there are hundreds of different classes - some fonts are in pts, others px and a few in em.
Anyone any ideas on how I can go about changing it - need to know what 1em is equal to in pt or px...
Thankin' you.

CSS can be a nasty beast, and even more so when you have so many classes as you have said.
Honestly, I think that the best way to do it, is take a copy of the style sheet. Rename the original and keep it nice and safe. Then go through the new one, removing all instances of font-size: until you only have one left. Make that one a % and then go through the site looking for text that's the wrong size and slowly add back in the font-size's where it is needed.
I know that this sounds like a lot of work, but in my experience, its always faster than trying to understand what some one else did.
Good luck

could you set up yr new classes.
back up yr files like Termial says,
and then use DW find and replace to change to old classes to new?
