Are these rules valid for use whenever setting a size for ANYthing?

1. Know your size in pixels
2. For non-IE, divide by 13 to get your em size
3. For IE, take the value found in #2, and multipy by .9759 to get your IE em size
4. When specifying, do the following:

width:46.15em;/* non-IE for 600px width*/
*width:45.04em;/* IE */


Is the above true for ever instance of sizing? What does the * do in front of the IE specific width?

Also, IE widths should always come AFTER any other width declaration
