Well, maybe if you could post your code we can have a better understanding of your real situation there. Anyway, try the link below, it's about CSS layout using percentage (%) value.

Absolute CSS Box (the method I used in my example)

This is one of the solution for your problem and I know there are many way to solve them. Just wait for other members in this forum to give their ideas.

Code: Select all
<style type="text/css">
#content{
    border: 1px solid black;
    position: absolute; /*set the position to absolute and, */
    width: 50%; /*set your div width to any percentage value (eg: 50%)and,*/
    left: 25%; /*you know that your div is 50% of the screen and there is another 50% for the left and right, 25% each so move it 25% to the left.*/
    top: 0; /*this one for the 100% width*/
    bottom: 0; /*this one for the 100% width*/

}
</style>
Hope that helps..
