ISSUE-26: Percentage values on 'border-width'

% border-width

Percentage values on 'border-width'

State:

CLOSED

Product:

CSS3 Backgrounds and Borders

Raised by:

Bert Bos

Opened on:

2008-04-04

Description:

'Margin' and 'width' allow percentages (of the containing block) and the Box module proposes to extend 'padding' with percentages as well. If only for consistency, it would make sense to allow percentages on borders, too.

The current draft defines 'border-width' that way: <length> | <percentage> | thin | medium | thick

Note that percentage borders wouldn't work very well in cases where percentages can't be resolved.
