Seems to me you are needlessly - and confusingly - mixing sizing methods. I'm tapping out on this thread. Goodnight all. On Thu, Mar 23, 2017 at 10:02 PM, Crest Christopher < crestchristop...@gmail.com> wrote: > When using vw/vh em are always going to be doubled ? What about pixels ? > > For

Crest Christopher composed on 2017-03-23 21:55 (UTC-0400): What do you mean EM are compound ? If the browser is set to 16px and the parent is 2.1em and the child is set to 1.4em that would be 47.xx vw ? It would be 47.04px, regardless of the viewport width or height. -- "The wise are known

When using vw/vh em are always going to be doubled ? What about pixels ? For example; 2em is equal to 4vw. Also If the default font size is 16 pixels and if |2vw| is 2% of the viewport’s width ? Mi B Thursday, March 23, 2017 11:16 AMvia Postbox

Funny... No, they would not be equal in 99.99% of the cases :) On Thu, Mar 23, 2017 at 7:14 AM, Crest Christopher < crestchristop...@gmail.com> wrote: > Speaking of which, can someone once again clarify, for example; 2.2em > would equal 4.4vw ? > > Tom Livingston >>

To be more clear: REMs, on the other hand, are relative to the root element (HTML) which is based on the browser preference setting. On Thu, Mar 23, 2017 at 11:39 AM, Tom Livingston wrote: > Once again, they are unrelated in the way you are showing here. > > vw/vh units are

Re: [css-d] vw and vh units -- how does one learn of developments in the CSS spec. such as these ?

Once again, they are unrelated in the way you are showing here. vw/vh units are related to the VIEWPORT dimensions. 1vm = 1% of the viewport width, *whatever* it may be. 2.2em is a unit relative to a users browser preference setting AND/OR the size set on a parent element. If browser preference

Speaking of which, can someone once again clarify, for example; 2.2em would equal 4.4vw ? Tom Livingston Thursday, March 23, 2017 8:48 AMvia Postbox Sorry, that's just the typical way I
