That will do nicely. I can stick a pixel sized image next to your page scale and I can guess from there what the ems value is. I may even stick in smaller scale divisions in to make it easier. It's visual and therefore not 100% accurate but it will help me get pretty close.
Thanks again
Michael

Ems are actually standard units that are based on what font size your browser is set to (in some browsers), in combination with the "font-size" property in your CSS.
While this may correspond to the actual width of an "m" in a font, any such correspondence is merely coincidental -- the font type has nothing to do with the unit "em" as it relates to CSS.
I did whip up a page that shows a rough scale of ems for different browser variables that might help you:

Ems are proportional measurements.
