For example, look at this: http://earthstones.com/ That's my wife's site and I based the entire site on em's -- as explained here:
When i zoom in as max as possible, with current resolution @ 1280x1204 (not even 1600x1200) i still have borders...
http://sperling.com/examples/zoom/ IMO, static sites don't use the medium well -- the web is not print.
Never knew anything of ems, i use % for al dynamic stuff. Is there any diference between those 2?
Cheers, tedd PS: I'm redoing her site -- it's dated.
