Alright, maybe a more bizarre question for the list, and I don't know why or how it burrowed into my brain, but I think I blame Stu Nicholls <http://www.cssplay.co.uk>.

Now, I remember reading at some point in my long and sordid history with CSS that one should be able (maybe just theoretically according to the W3C spec, or is anticipated in CSS3?) to combine percentages, ems, and pixel values. Something like 'width: 100% - 200px - 20em;' or 'margin: 5px + 2em;' . I tried it initially, it didn't work, and I gave up on it in favor of commonly taught and used practices in the CSS community. However, lately I've been thinking that if it's possible (in any context within CSS, but particularly content block-level elements), it's something I should really be aware of and using.

So, list, is there a way of combining them within a single attribute (you could always use them separately), or was I daydreaming when I thought there was an elegant method of combining mixed values? Thanks for any and all responses.

Regards,
Derek
