The issue Lea is referring to - I think - is that if the element has width:30em, the em in that length refers to the font size of the element the width property applies to. Thus if said font-size is in turn a function of how wide the element is you have a circularity. And in CSS, circularity is awkward.Received on Tuesday, 20 August 2013 19:23:17 UTC
