RE: Table height/width properties

I'm sorry but I believe you are mistaken. From what I know of,
percentage width is calculated against direct parent width values.
So, if my dad owns 80% of the stuff that's in the fridge and I own 100%
of the stuff my dad owns, I also own 80% of what's in that fridge.
Height is another story though. Check

I'm going home before I starve to death.
