There is no direct conversion. You cant make such a conversion. 1 pixel is a unit on the screen. There are something like 76 pixels per inch on a PC screen or 96 pixels per inch on a mac screen.
One em is the width of the character "M" in whatever size the user has set as his default font size. It's a variable set in the user's browser. Therefore, one em can be any size at all, depending on what setting the user has. 14 pixels will always be the same distance regardless of what setting the user has on his font size.

If I want to size an image in ems so it will scale with text re-sizing I kinda doing it manually at the moment by dividing by 12 and guessing from there. I thought there might be a site somewhere that you select your font etc and imput you pixel size and it does an acurate conversion. Or am I dreeeeeaaaaammmmmm..in' Thanks if anyone can answer ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
