I've missed most of this thread, which I think will be an advantage
here, I'm looking at it from a front-end developer point of view.
My thought process would be: "The parent will be 100px tall, therefore
the child must be 50px tall".
I would assume that the browser calculates the height of the parent and
then makes the child 50% of that.
Does that help?
Kind regards,
