Re: [WSG] Percentages

[Nick Cowie]

Never trust a browser to add up percentages and get them right. They appear round differently and in some browser 23% of 720px + 52% of 720px and 25% of 720px will exceed 720px.

I agree with Samuel if your outer container is in pixels, then it is more pratical that your internal container  be in pixels. If your outer container is in EMs, then it is more pratical that your internal container  be in EMs (and also give leeway for rounding errors). The only time I would use % for inner containers is if the outer container was also in % (ie fluid design) and even then I would make sure there was room for rounding  errors, ie use 22%, 51% and 24%.
