常问问题
-
What is the difference between rem and em in CSS?
rem (root em) is relative to the root element font size (html), making it consistent across the entire page. em is relative to the font size of the parent element, which can compound in nested elements. rem is generally preferred for layout consistency.
-
Why is 1rem equal to 16px by default?
Browsers set a default root font size of 16px unless overridden. So 1rem = 16px, 0.5rem = 8px, 1.5rem = 24px. If you set html { font-size: 62.5%; }, then 1rem = 10px, making math easier.
-
When should I use px instead of rem or em?
Use px for values that should not scale with user font preferences, like borders, shadows, or media query breakpoints. Use rem for font sizes and spacing so your layout respects the user's accessibility settings. Use em for component-relative sizing.
-
How does browser zoom affect CSS units?
Browser zoom scales all CSS units proportionally, including px. This is different from OS-level text scaling. However, if a user changes their browser default font size, rem and em values adjust while px values do not — making rem/em better for accessibility.
