Understanding Accessibility

Guideline 3. Use markup and style sheets and do so properly.

Checkpoint 3.4 - Use relative rather than absolute units in markup language attribute values and style sheet property values

How do I do it?

Use percentages or ems rather than pixels (see line-height below) and use relative font sizes such as small or large (see font-size below).

p{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height: 150%;
color: #666666;
font-size: small;
}

How do I check that it meets the WCAG criteria?

WebXact claims to validate this checkpoint, however I believe it only checks the HTML and not the CSS stylesheet. To check your HTML, run your page through webXact's accessibility checker.
