I'm wondering why does WordPress's default theme mix up the css measurement units?

For example: 

.one-column.singular #author-info { margin: 2.2em -8.8% 0; padding: 20px 8.8%;}

Wouldn't be easier to understand and to work if all them were pixel based?

Thanks

  • There is nothing wrong with having CSS use relative (%) and fixed(px) attributes. Commented Apr 1, 2012 at 16:13

Its just a css thing... while the distance from the top object is
to remain permenant the distance from a side object is relative and
those changes (sometimes) as the screen resulotion changes..

That prevents smaller screens from having a broken site. Anyhow thats the old way to go about it (in a matter of speaking) since "Responsive website design"
is the modern way to control website fluidity...
