I've been working on making my css flexible with different browsers/screen resolutions/devices. The best information I've found so far has been the Patrick Griffiths article at A List Apart. In applying the suggestion that I use ems as often as possible, I've found instances where only pixels would give me control. Is there a general guideline about best use of each?
What are you using px for? It it's for font size, the control you get is illusory; you get it only when your viewer doesn't use a different font size. If it's for column widths, you may create narrow columns that look like thin trickles down the page. Use px for border widths and images, but little else. -- Chris F.A.
