Breakpoints are points at which certain CSS rules kick in. They are
most commonly based on the width of your browser
many such breakpoints (out there in practice) are defined in ems, even when

responsive design is fluid design
I do think that here a better term, than fluid design, is adaptive design,
which means the design will adapt to the context. Fluid leads the thought to
a specific set of design techniques, which do not give the complete

Yes, that's currently how I do it technically too, but it's of course just a
set of possible techniques
