Hello all,
On my css layouts, I tend to use *em* for font size and *px* for all
the rest. However, I wish not to follow this path any longer, since
I wish to embrace the *em* for [almost] all the development.
Problem: we use a *960px grid* for styling most of our pages, so the
margin or paddings and widths are given on px, and if we convert
those, sometimes, we will get weird stuff like: 0.345 em.
Question: Will it make sense to create a grid based on *em* ?

What "makes sense," I think, depends on your design goals. FWIW, these
days I size grid horizontal widths in percent; vertical spaces in EMs.
To keep line measure within bounds, min- and max-width for sections are
set in EM.
My preference for percent widths is simply because I think in terms of
proportion - I have a hard time thinking in terms of EMs or PX. :\
YMMV of course.
