EM can fail miserably in below senario for IEs for p, li and span tags due to
inheritance making them very tiny and unable to get consistence font size for
one block of content in different browsers not just the IE.
body {font-size: 100.1%}
p, li {font-size: 0.95em}
span {font-size: 0.9em}

Hi JC,
This is a question where a example would help. It all depends on:
1. the element in question (the TD element operates differently to DIV
element in many cases)
2. whether sizing has been applied to the element
3. whether positioning had been applied to the element
4. which browser you

Hi Team,
Is there any idea to overcome the problem when there is content without
blankspace (spaces between words) inside TD / DIV is still expanding though
it has fixed width.
Any suggestions welcome :)

The basic plan that I follow is to use % for structural items, which generally
need to be proportional to other structural items, and ultimately the viewport
itself.
Then, pixels purely for borders and images,
And EMs only for text.
Margins and padding can be either pixels, EMs or % depending on

Set body tag to either 100.1% in IE, while pixels are fine in non-IE browsers:
body { font: 16px/1.4em verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; }
* html body { font: 100.1%/1.4em verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; }

I actually think this is a really interesting, key area of current web

I must offer a contrary view to Edward!
Any page that requires a user with normal vision to have to zoom on any
device is, in my view, a sign of a really badly designed page on a
really smart device.
Pixels can be regarded as a proportional measure since pixel density
varies between screens.
Modern browsers now implement page zoom, and so using ems for me is becoming
unnecessary. I get much better x-browser control with px's and so that is
the direction im moving in

Hi,
I've been converting some of our company public-facing static web-sites
from pixels to ems for layout and font-size.

that most browsers now can r
