Hi Sara,

Combining fixed-unit (px) and proportional (%) measurements for macro-level 
layout often leads to problems. Without further details about the layout it's 
hard to see exactly how the problem is manifesting itself.

Can you give us a URL of the work in question or paste the code into 
jsfiddle.net for us to have a closer look?

Regards,
