If you like complications, by all means that should help. :-p There's really no need to consider px at all. I think in 1/8s or tenths or multiples of an em. Everything thus relates to font size, and everything holds proportion as font size gets changed. > I have been wanting to make the move to EM's for layout, but I do not > see EM layouts being practical when it comes to layouts that are needing > pixel precision (some clients want that)... You need to do a better job of teaching your client about the kind of precision that makes sense in the fluid medium that is the web. Hold your proportions with ems. You have no idea how big any px but your own is anyway. Browsers do round differently. Opera & IE truncate more than round (12.99px renders same as 12.00px), while KHTML & Gecko round nearly the way most math teachers teach rounding (12.6px renders the same as 13.0px). It shouldn't matter. No one but a web designer has any real need to look at the same web page in two different browsers at the same time, so no one should know if there's any detectable difference. -- "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
