Please see my previous email: em and rem have nothing to do with responsiveness, in regards to that px behave exactly the same, namely relative. I just checked back on a recent project, also responsive – there I even mixed em and px.
Also see the Bootstrap interface library, it uses px and is probably the baseline for many responsive websites recently: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap Please correct me if I missed something, I really don’t want to drive something forward which will bite us in the future. But please with proof – the comments about px not working properly with different resolutions or not being responsive are simply not true, it’s a relative unit just like em (despite the misleading name).
