Hi Karuna,
As I understand it, a percentage width is calculated based on the
parent element.
ie:
html body {
width: 700px;
}
#element1 {
width: 60%
}
===================
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div id="element1">
.. some content ...
</div>
</body>
</html>
the div with id element1 will have its width be 60% of the
containing/parent element, in this case 'body'.
HTH,
