Request learning material. Focus on nitty gritty of Layouting, Styling in Percent, and Em
Hello WSC team
I'am a student in a university. I build small web design community with my friends in my campus. I and some of my friends be the speaker for members of my community.
We have problems in CSS layouting. We have problem in layouting and styling in Percent, and Em. We don't understand how Percent, and Em work. We difficult to create background image size, and placing a background image with Percent,Em based layout.
Not just that, we also can't understand how to calculate background positioning using percent and em. It's harder than using pixel. It is very hard to calculate when creating a layout with faux column.
is it possible WSC team write in detail about layouting and styling with percent and em?
Thank you
With out going into detail:
I think what you mean to say is you wish for the theory on creating "elastic layouts".
Listening to what you have said, I would just say: "if it sounds wierd and unconventional, it's probably bad! take 2 steps back" (hint: background positioning with em/% units)

- em = line height (so, 1em = 1line, 2em = 2lines, .5em = 0.5 size of 1 line)
- % = dimention proportionate to parent container.
