See URL for simple test case: <form> <div style="width:50%; background-color:yellow"> <input type="text" style="width:75%"> </div> </form> The input width should be 75% of the parent element's width (DIV) which is 50% of the width of the body. This is a requirement I have to do some constraints stuff in an XPFE.

I also notice that this test does not work: <span style="width:50%; background-color:lightblue; text-align:center;">Foo</span> I expect the SPAN to be 50% the width of the parent element. It is not. Its width is equal to the content width of the text "Foo." Perhaps this is related? I'm thinking this might all be a layout thing... reassigning to kipp and adding troy to cc: list.
The following has the same behavior as the test case. <div style="width:50%; background-color:yellow"> <HR style="width:75%"> </div> The following has the wrong size (but in a different way). <DIV style="width:50%; background-color:yellow"> <TABLE style="width:75%"><TR><TD>foo</TD></TR></TABLE> </DIV>
