%, px, em "Its doing my head in!"

Okay, so my sight was faulty, and it wasn't because of browsers. I think its because of the screen measurements.

 

You see, I used px for every single measurement on my page, including fixed positions.

 

Now I see what could have happened.

 

so I thing I'm going to use:

 

% for alignment

em for text

and px for images and swf files.

 

Do you think that's the way to go?

If you site is a fixed width I would go with px or em. px is an absolute measurement where as em is reletive to browser resolution (I beleive).

 

If your site is liquid i.e. you want it to expand to the full width if the user has a 32" big mumma screen but still make full use of the whole screen in smaller 800 x 600 ancient machines. Then % is the way forward but test how content looks in small screens as well as the biguns.

 

from personal experiance if I have mixed % px it's alway ended in me having to decide on one or the other. :fool:

Yea, thanks. The problem I had with px is that, the layout was different on the screens of other people. Which caused many buggs and faults.

 

So I guess % is the way forward for me.

 

God this is so confusing :fool:
