Given that my original margin/padding around an <h1> with font-size 250% was in pixels, when I
converted at 1 em = 16 px the new margin/padding sizes were 2.5 times too high. So conversion
for <h1> has to be 1 em = 40px to get the same on screen appearance. If that's wrong I haven't
understood ems at all.
3. ALL measurements, including margins and paddings, work well without any
noticeable
problems. The *only* problems I have ever encountered has been mixing
measurement types. My
advice, pick something and stay with it.
I'll give it a go
4. Lastly, use ems for images as well. That way your entire site scales well
with zooms.
That's a new idea to me, I've used % for some time. I'll try it.
Here's my write-up on it:
