After a long stint away from bloggy world (busy, busy busting butt at work), a friend sent me The World’s Highest Website – a CSS Experiment and I was tickled. It’s a CSS experiment and, realistically, not a very useful one but, still, it’s kinda cool.

I’m wondering though… they control the height of the “world’s highest div element” by setting the font size to be 100cm (that’s centimeters). Now, centimeters are a standard size on paper but is a centimeter on my monitor the same as a centimeter on yours? I doubt it. So it’s not exactly 18.939 kilometers high… but relatively speaking, it’s pretty damned big.

Oh, and they were nice enough to provide a print style sheet that skips the printing of over 11 miles of paper… just in case you’re weird enough to try to print such a silly page. The lines wouldn’t print by default anyway but who’s keeping track anyway?

Enjoy.
