Multiple Column Lists, Part III
February 3 2005
I’m finding out a few things about using ems as the measurement units for web pages:
- They make for some fluid layouts when using them for widths
- They, unexpectedly, cause inconsistent wrapping of text at different font sizes (when pixel defined text is within an em defined container)
- It’s not a good unit for trying to manage container height. Fixed em heights can break if larger font size forces wrapping
I’m sure there’s more but this format of taking notes isn’t conducive to jotting stuff down.
