I read in w3school – font-size property that the difference between using em and px is that when using px IE doesn’t support resizing but em does.

I am working on IE7 and it works fine with px and re-size the text when zooming the page.

can any one explain this to me ?

    px can be resized in IE as well. em is a relativ size to the inherited size by it’s parent element and actually has the same meaning as %.

    I don’t think you can take any advantage by using em instead of px.
