When I searched around, I found every example having 100% and not 100 pct

the difference being how they wrote percent

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so I'm not sure if pct is even allowed in css

anonymous · Answer

its E pct stands for nothing in html

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so HTML ignores pct? and just thinks it's 100 px? Or 100 pt?

anonymous · Answer

yea but it says css so idk

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

CSS is a subset of HTML

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

you use CSS to define font sizes, spacing, position, alignment, etc in an HTML document

anonymous · Answer

absolute units (cm, mm, in, pt and pc) mean the same in CSS as everywhere else i see no pct

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yeah so I think the proper fix is to turn "100pct" into "100%"

anonymous · Answer

what letter is that ?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

cm = centimeter
mm = millimeter
pt = point
pc = pica

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

give it a shot and tell me what you think

anonymous · Answer

pct could equal percent

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

pct doesn't work when I try it, so it's not defined in CSS
