em, eh?

Sent by tedd on 31 January 2004 17:05


Hi gang:

Is there a reference that explains why em's are given different 
values (i.e., height/width on the screen) between browsers?

In fact, I've even found that em's are given different values within 
the same browser at different zoom levels.  For example, if x em is 
given a space of y pixels at 100 percent zoom, then a 200% zoom does 
not necessarily translate to twice the size in pixels even within the 
same browser.

Plus, while the problem appears not to be linear and similar to 
round-off errors, it introduces much more error than that.  It 
appears to be based upon some misguided table look-up function of 
some sort -- any ideas?

So, before I start an investigation as to how different browsers 
handle ems, I would like to review any references on the subject.

Thanks.

tedd
