Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 97695

(Core :: Layout, defect)

I have a page and I want to place 15 buttons beside each other and I determine
there width with %. I want to do this so everybody sees all the buttons and
there will be no problem. When I give each button a width="10%" I want that
there will be a line of 10 buttons with a tenth of the framesize and another
line with 5 buttons of the same size.

The problem is that the first button is realy 10% of framesize but the second
button is 10% of 90%. This means that the second button is 10% of the remaining
space. The line buttons will be displayed on one line and the buttons will be
smaller and smaller.

In internet explorer it is displayed as it should be. I also tried to use the
standard layout mode and the quicks one, but it doesn't seem to matter.
