I cannot delete the question but I have moved it to SO:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3600204/mixing-percent-and-fixed-css
Should you ever apply percentage and fixed CSS together? Will it cause problems, and if so what kinds?
- I have heard that mixing can degrade render performance?
- I have hard mixing can give you weird results on initial load with progressive rendering browsers?
EDIT: Below is just an example of mixed usage. I am not looking for validation of the example. I have heard you should never do what I have in the example below, so I am trying to find out if using CSS in this manner is an issue.
Example:
<style>
.container
{
width:300px;
}
.cell
{
width:25%;
}
</style>
<table class="container">
<tr>
<td class="cell"><td>
<td class="cell"><td>
<td class="cell"><td>
<td class="cell"><td>
</tr>
</table>
