I am looking for some help with font sizes and I read a technique a while ago about em sizes beeing better than pixels.

You had to set the body to 60% font-size?

Does anyone have anymore information on it?

When you use px you are specifying size in pixels.  When you use em you are specifying size relative to the paragraph.
With em the browser will resize the text when you say choose View - Text Size - Larger.  With PX the font size is fixed and does not grow.

A very brief explanation goes like this - CSS has two broad classes of units for length, relative and absolute. em is a relative unit. px is in theory relative too - the way it is defined in the CSS standard - but in practice it turns out to be absolute.  You can read more here

A good article on em and elastic layouts, I suggest you check it out.
