Does using em as css unit solve the problem in difference in monitor resolution (800×600 vs. 1024×768)?
Yes,
emsets the css targets size relative to the pre-calculatedem blockof the parent. See wikipedia for more info on what an Em is.Basically, as the resolution goes up, the computed size of an Em goes up to. The size of the Em block is a function of the resolution, and the users-preference (font-size) — so you get the best of both worlds.
This is why W3C suggests using Em for fluid displays.
