Jim,

Generally speaking, they would both allow your UI to be liquid. This can help in resizing fonts on the screen. I would recommend using them. However, be careful how to apply them.

Subject: [WebAIM] Web Developer CSS Question

Hi,
I'm learning web development, and as a totally blind screen reader user, it makes total sense to learn accessible web development as I learn, so I don't have to unlearn things. I was reading through the WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria and looking at CSS techniques. That's why I want to ask this. Should I always use em units and never use other units, or is it OK to use, for example, percentages also?

Thanks.

Jim
