margin px fallbacks?

[ldexterldesign]

Hey,

I'm using rem units in my project

I get the font-size pixel fallbacks, but nothing on any properties (e.g. margin) - is this intentional?

Thanks,

Yeah, we use rems for font sizing primarily. If you'd like to see things different then you can place a code snippet in this thread to discuss before filing a PR.

Hey bud,

Yea, I'm down with rem units

My point relates to the fact I don't get margin rem fallbacks, as I do with the font-size?

Cheers,

Yup you're correct. As I said above we don't do that. We only use rems for font-sizing.

Hmm, I suspect this means no margins in IE8, as rem units not supported?

Besides setting a fallback margin manually, are you using a more convenient method I don't know about?

Yours hopefully,

... BTW I'm using these two libraries, which are useful/relevant:

Margins are set in ems currently. IE8 supports ems. As I said we don't size the box model with rems at this point.

Hmm, my margins are in rems, hence raising this issue?

@ldexterldesign
Where are you getting rems in your margins from? Can u paste in this thread where this is happening?
