My apologies: I sent this reply earlier, but it didn't go into the thread.
Thank you Philippe and Tom,
Having done a bit more reading since my initial post on this subject I am coming to the
conclusion that the new (2012) syntax has avoided the width problem as I expressed it.
It looks as if the 'flex-basis' property can have a percentage width value which sets the
percentage of the container taken up before growth/shrinkage. In which case '50%' will achieve
my aim.
I am now translating my example code to the new syntax.
Regards,
Tim Dawson
