           Summary: width seems to ignore percentage values - look at red
                    borders in footer not matching those above.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 419.x
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: http://www.opensourcetoday.org/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: hcohen05 at gmail.com


Initially I was under the impression this was the same problem I reported in
bug 14694, however, I had taken the padding out of the css file in this region.

In the css file look at #bottom-left and #bottom-right where I have adjusted
the relative percentage size.  Concentrate on the red borders not flowing
smoothly into the footer area using Safari.  It works with Firefox even on the
Mac as do others.  Admittedly there are other problems with the footer at the
bottom and sides with other browser / OS combinations.  Nonetheless, I can get
them to match the vertical red borders flowing downward from the central area
of this page.

Percentage values for the width have worked in earlier versions of Safari,
according to at least one comment I read (circa 2004) on the Web development
mail list.  Therefore, I am mystified why it seems to fail only for Safari.  I
have read that Opera has an odd interpretation of the meaning of percentage
values, could that be the cause here?

Works properly for Firefox and IE.
