I am trying to debug why having font-size: 1.0em in jquery-ui is causing my font sizes for my page to go huge(over 16px) without me doing any actual resizing of the fonts. Well, in Firebug I saw a weird thing for an accordion.

At the base, it had font-size: 1.0em but later that was overriden by font-size: 100%. Could that cause some sort of problem with font sizing? I was always under the impression that 100% was the same as 1.0em

    Yes.

    1em and 100% mean the same thing (for font-size) — “The same font-size as the parent element” (which is not the same thing as the font size the user has selected unless you are talking about the HTML element).

    There are bugs in Internet Explorer when em is used and the font size picked from the view menu is not medium.
