What is CSS Viewport Units?     

  CSS3 Viewport units: vw, vh, vmin, vmax.

  CSS3 has some new values for sizing things relative to the current viewport size: vw, vh, and vmin. It is relevant to bring up now, because it's shipping in Chrome 20 

  One unit on any of the three values is 1% of the viewport axis. "Viewport" == browser window size == window object. If the viewport is 40cm wide, 1vw == 0.4cm.

Viewport unit syntax

In brief, the available new units are as follows:

  • 1vw: 1% of viewport width
  • 1vh: 1% of viewport height
  • 1vmin: 1vw or 1vh, whatever is smallest
  • 1vmax: 1vw or 1vh, whatever is largest

Note that IE9 supports the old syntax for vmin — vm, but not for font-size. Webkit-based browsers that support it do so, but not dynamically — refresh the browser window if you see no change upon resizing the viewport.
