Firstly, pixels are not absolute units, they are defined as relative

confused about the terminology.
I thought the definition of px as a relative unit was an error see:

That e-mail seems to point out that pixels are relative units in CSS and
the proposed erratum relates to a WCAG checkpoint that failed to
recognise this fact. If it were an error in CSS, the issue probably
would have been raised on www-style and recent drafts of CSS 2.1 would
reflect that. But that is not the case, pixels are still defined as
relative units.
P.S. I just want to point out that, in my previous post, wherever I
referred the the 'en' unit, I meant 'ex' instead. There is currently no
'en' unit defined in CSS.
