Hey guy and gals. I’m finally starting to take CSS seriously and am wondering whats the best measuring unit I should use when building my next layout.

I used ems my last time, but I ended up using crazy decimals that made cross-browser relations bad.

I fear percentage.

Pixels seem like they wouldn’t be nice for smaller screens.
