Sounds good, and can be achieved by using 'em' and '%'/'auto-width'
together.

I've seen good implementations of em-sized designs, and some
really counter-productive ones.
The good em-sized designs will also scale in relation to browser-window,
so visitors are in control.
Many weak em-sized designs will overflow the window and require sideways
scrolling if font-size is bumped up a bit by the visitor.

Luckily Opera, the browser that em-sized designs are often imitating,
does work like the good ones. Opera is also able to break the weak ones
into submission, by forcing them to stay within the available window
width - regardless of font size. Users of other browsers aren't that lucky.

A site that demonstrates a pretty good em-sized design-method is
<http://www.456bereastreet.com/> which relates to window-width while
scaling with em-sized max-width. IE/win doesn't understand anything when
it comes to em-sized max-width, but the site works in that browser too
because it understands the rest of the sizing-method.
The method is described in an older article on Roger's site, so just
look around for it.
