hi

i'm confused while writing CSS of my new website.

i was reading an article and it says specify font sizes in em not in px.

i want to know why is that so and what is professional approach?

well as far as i know

em is relative size and px is absolute size

i think professional approach is to use em instead of px.

em is also good in visibility point of view
