Thank you, Jukka….I don’t expect anyone here to be a mind-reader, but why do so 
many advocate using % for margin and padding?  

what is a proper use of % for margin and padding? is it for something like the 
width of a content div which you want to be 66.66667% the width of its 
container?

thank you!
