Glad you approve :)  For the record, I also think that putting <br> is
to be avoided whenever possible - let the browser flow things for you!

Regarding px: *I* didn't class it that way - the CSS standard does.  A
pixel is considered relative in size to the *screen resolution*, not
other page elements.  So a pixel on a screen with a resolution of
640x480 will be larger than a screen with a res of 1024x768.

I tend to mostly use em and px in my pages for element size.
