Hi,
I've been converting some of our company public-facing static web-sites
from pixels to ems for layout and font-size.
But just recently I encountered several references that pixels are getting
back into popularity - as it offers absolute control over text, and
that most browsers now can
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

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
I actually think this is a really interesting, key area of current web
development, how about we add some links to resources putting either
argument forward?

Set body tag to either 100.1% in IE, while pixels are fine in non-IE browsers:

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

That sounds like a good solution. The primary reason we want to switch to
EMS is for Accessibility and ability to enlarge text via browser's
settings. Will using % for structure be able to accomodate the growing
size of the text accordingly if text is in ems? My understanding is that

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

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}
