How to map pixels to millimeters ?

[Frederic Claux]

Hi,

Considered the following :

<SPAN ID="mySpan"
STYLE="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 200mm; height:
150mm">
...
</SPAN>

I'm looking for a way to convert my millimeters into pixels so that I get
*exactly* the same layout for my span, or any other kind of object. It would
be done by function like the following one :

SetWidthHeightAsPixels(mySpan);

function SetWidthHeightAsPixels(id)
{
...
}

The trouble is that using GDI functions with an ActiveX control, it seems
that I do not get exactly the same mapping as the ones computed by Internet
Explorer (5.5 in my case).

Is there a way to achieve that through DHTML ?

Thanks for any clue.

Just read mySpan.style.pixelWidth or mySpan.offsetWidth, they will both return
in pixel measurement.
