I thought it was better to use em values for responsive design? Can em values be passed to a mixin instead of px?

23,932 PointsMy appologies everyone for any confusion. In re-reading my initial question, what I meant to ask is if we can use the famous em(target / context) function that Guil taught us in previous lessons as a parameter.
@function em($target, $context: $base__font-size) {
@return ($target / $context) * 1em;
}
Is it possible to use a sass function as a parameter?

11,110 Pointsyea you can use any CSS in Sass and EM/ REM / PX / VH / % ... are lenght values for CSS and SASS is just something that help you write FAST CSS so it means you can use same things as in CSS also in MIXIN because MIXIN is just variable where you can store a lot of CSS lines :)

39,021 PointsJaycode, here's some additional info on REMs. Just so you're aware that they are based on the "base" font size (which is not always 10px).
