170 PointsOpps my html answer was striped by system software.
You can see what I say on https://css-tricks.com/forums/topic/responsive-web-design-when-to-use-px-vs-on-margins-and-padding/
Generally, I use bootstrap or materializecss for responsive web sites. If you like it, can use them.

170 PointsGenerally you will use pixel size for paddings. But, if you use percentage, your element padding will be flexible according to parent element.
Example: (paddings will be 10px) <div style="width: 100px; height: 100px"> <div style="width: 90px; height: 90px; padding:10px">Content</div> </div>
Example: (paddings will be 5px) <div style="width: 100px; height: 100px"> <div style="width: 90px; height: 90px; padding:5%">Content</div> </div>
Example: (paddings will be 10px) <div style="width: 200px; height: 200px"> <div style="width: 90px; height: 90px; padding:5%">Content</div> </div>
