px units should be deprecated and discouraged, but to get there we need an image format which can contain multiple interlaced resolutions, so that devices can load only up the resolution they need. Then we can also specify <img> dimensions in proportional units (e.g. pt, em, vh, ...). > Hello all, > > here is a link to an article I posted last week about the use of pixels as > a unit in web design. > Daniel Glazman suggested I post it here after I pinged him on Twitter > about it. > > So here it is, I hope it'll be worth you time: > http://bureau.tsailly.net/2010/10/honey-i-shrunk-the-pixels.html > > Long story short : pixels are vanishing from the visible world because > screen density rises, and screen densities get very diverse from devices > to others.
