100% of window width. But since you cannot know what the window width
is, you are no closer to being able to map from the number of px to a
percentage, are you ?

Fine, here's a specific question : How would you translate from 16px

Grids are not hocus pocus either. OS X’s canning ability to invisibly

Unfortunately I must do work now, but the (classic) basic context-aware formula

But when your context is 100% and your target is 16px (or any other

You can use pixels instead of percentages for a fluid layout ?
You can use pixels for the parts of the grid you want to be inflexible, like
gutters. This will break relative relationships so must be handled with care.

I have to agree with Philip here. If you don't know context you can use the
formula you referenced. That, I believe, is his point. Viewport width is
not something you will know.
If, for example, you know your content will be a max-width of 960px, then
you can work off of that in the formula.
Sorry, that should read If you don't know context you CAN'T use the
formula...
Another victim of auto correct...
