 * Description: Extends the native Number and String objects with pxToEm method. pxToEm converts a pixel value to ems depending on inherited font size.
 * Article: http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/retaining_scalable_interfaces_with_pixel_to_em_conversion/
 * Demo: http://www.filamentgroup.com/examples/pxToEm/
 *
 * Options:
       scope: string or jQuery selector for font-size scoping
       reverse: Boolean, true reverses the conversion to em-px
 * Dependencies: jQuery library
 * Usage Example: myPixelValue.pxToEm(); or myPixelValue.pxToEm({'scope':'#navigation', reverse: true});

 * Version: 2.0, 08.01.2008
 * Changelog:
 *      08.02.2007 initial Version 1.0

      For example, if the body font-size is 62.5% and the window width is 1000px, IE will return 625px as the font-size.
      When this happens, we calculate the correct body font-size (%) and multiply it by 16 (the standard browser font size)
      to get an accurate em value. */
