Re: CSS: %% length unit and HTML's MultiLength unit.

Thanks, Anne,

Idea close in terms of "fluidity" but different in implementation:

"A <number> value sets the width or height to that many times the intrinsic
width."
In other words:
  ActualElementWidth = Coeff * ElementIntinsicWidth;

But in my case it is:
  ActualElementWidth = Coeff * FreeSpaceWidth;
