Schalk: I use em's all the time.
Oddly enough the only time I use a different measurement is for font sizes, where I use x-small, small, medium, large, x-large. That way I don't have to worry about nesting em's. Like nesting percentages, they accumulate (i.e., 80% of 80% is not 80%). Also, you might think about using em's so that your site remains constant when people zoom font sizes In that regard, check out: my site below, http://www.geophysics.com/ or http://www.earthstones.com/ or http://www.symboldomains.com for examples site's I've built using just em's. They don't fall apart when people zoom them. I explain the technique at: http://www.sperling.com/examples/zoom1/ HTH's tedd --- >Greetings All > >When putting together a site/application, is it possible and reasonable >to use EM throughout or are there situations where percentages or pixels >are better suited?
