What should i keep for body, {font-size: 100.01%; } or { font-size: 100%; }?
what is {font-size: 100.01%; }? and is it really good to mention font-size in html{} even
If I’m using body {font-size: 62.5%;}

Today i found info about 100.01% at here – http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=FAF76&print=true
This odd 100.01% value for the font
size compensates for several browser
bugs. First, setting a default body
font size in percent (instead of em)
eliminates an IE/Win problem with
growing or shrinking fonts out of
proportion if they are later set in
ems in other elements. Additionally,
some versions of Opera will draw a
default font-size of 100% too small
compared to other browsers. Safari, on
the other hand, has a problem with a
font-size of 101%. The current “best”
suggestion is to use the 100.01% value
for this property.
Is it good to keep body { font-size:100.01%} in place of {font-size:100%}
The declaration
body (or html) { font-size: 100.01% }compensates rounding errors, in particular in older versions of Opera and Safari. Both would otherwise display fonts that are too small.A relative font-size (%, em) is always interpreted relative to the font size of the parent element. So it’s not a bad idea to implement kind of a initial reset in the top element, which you can achieve with
body {font-size: 100%}.
