@ Gagan

According to wikipedia

“An em is a unit of measurement in the field of typography, equal to the size of the current font”

Hi!
It looks like em units are used to improve website accessibility, mostly on IE when you change font size in the browsers settings, when you use em’s not only font gets biger but your entire website, stopping text from running out of divs, etc. anyway, if you have to calculate entire page it may take you some time, I started with one file but that was tiring, I wrote a little program in Delphi, that calculates and replaces all values in whole code you paste. If you like you can get that from the link below (btw. save it as .exe, for I could not upload it as .exe file), let me know if you find any errors in calculations.
