Ok, I know when using the value em, it is based on the browsers default font size setting. So if I want to use the browsers default, would I use 1 em and that will be the browsers default font size?

Font size with em
Yes
But there is a problem as not all browsers seem to have the same default font size.
On my last site I set a body font default size, and then em for headings<h*> and <p>, etc which allowed the user to resize.

Font size with em
So if I understand you correctly, you are setting a default body font size, thus replacing the browsers default, and then the following em units will be sized off of the body font? So if you set the body font size at 14px, 1em would then be 14px, instead of whatever the browser default is. If I am wrong, sorry.

Font size with em
That is correct, although I normally set it to the same as the default for IE as the most used browser, so many do not see any difference.
I had thought that to be 16px, but someone else thought it was 18px, although that seems too big.
