Description
I've created a page that is sized primarily by 'em', other than images and borders. This works pretty well, and now I'm adding one of jquery-ui's handy dialog boxes.
I've created the content of the dialog box as a new PHP page, using 'em' again. I load that into the dialog, but the size is wrong. I discovered that I can only provide the dialog width/height in pixels.
It would be nice to be able to provide the width/height in em. Could those be modified to accept the width and units together, like '10px' or '5em'? Percentage units might be interesting as well, although I don't need those myself.

I just tried to use "em" sizes with jQuery UI 1.8.9, and it seems the "width" parameter accepts "em" units, but "height" does not! What's going on? That's totally illogical.

There's nothing illogical about the fact that code does not work the way it was not meant to be used.

This gets really tricky when dealing with resizing and handling min/max. As I don't think we'll get support for that, I'm going to close this. If someone wants to provide a patch that makes everything work, we can consider it.
Agreed. We're writing a PHP wrapper for jQuery's dialog box, and our framework traditionally supports em for sizes. But we don't know what to do when attempting to create a jQuery dialog box when given em or %.
