3,075 PointsWhen and why most people use EM over px
After doing some research on my own I notice that in the header most if not all use em over px. My question is since they both do the same thing is there a benefit for using em over just simply using px?

Pixel units are a good choice when you want to size something that won't change, such as an image container.
