Depends. If FOO is the root element and the viewport is 400px width, 50%
will become 200px, and the width wel be 200px - 100px = 100px. BAR will
inherit that.
If the viewport is only 150px width, the 'width' of FOO will become '0'
as you told me and BAR will inherit that.
(If this is not what you meant, could you say it more explecit and
perhaps give a more clearer example?)
