使用相对单位em注意点
1.浏览器默认字体是16px,即1em = 16px,根元素设置如下
html{
font-size: 100%; /* WinIE text resize correction */
}
body{
font-size: 1em;
}
2、如果元素自身没有设置字体大小，那么元素自身上的所有属性值如“boder、width、height、padding、margin、line-height”等值，我们都可以按下面的公式来计算
1 ÷ 父元素的font-size × 需要转换的像素值 = em值
3、这一种千万要慢慢理解，不然很容易与第二点混了。如果元素设置了字体大小，那么字体大小的转换依旧按第二条公式计算，也就是下面的：
元素自身的font-size/继承父元素字体大小 = em值 （字体大小计算）
1 ÷ 父元素的font-size × 需要转换的像素值 = em值
那么元素设置了字体大小，此元素的其他属性，如“border、width、height、padding、margin、line-height”计算就需要按照下面的公式来计算：
1 ÷ 元素自身的font-size × 需要转换的像素值 = em值
