it is about the width of the enclosing block element.
So if the image is in a div, 20% means 20% of thw width of that div.
But use please css, not width and height of the image.

Subject: sizing a picture on a webpage



Hi all --
I asked this on blindwebbers but no one who knows the answer seems to be
online there tonight. I am putting up my personal webpage and want to put a picture on it so that it is sized to fit in a space that occupies 24% ov the 
width of the screen. I read about the css and xhtml for images and still
can't find anywhere that says what the % means when used in the context of
the height or width of a picture. If I say

<img src="whatever.jpg" height="90" width="110">

I assume the numbers refer to pixels, as according to the spec, it can be
either pixels or percent. But if I say width="20%" -- what am I saying? Does that mean 20% of the whole screen? or the immediately enclosing div? or 25% 
the picture's normal size?

The docs tell you to experiment, which is fine if you can see the outcome.
I'm trying to do this without sighted help.
So does anyone have an answer?
And how do I determine the normal size of this picture?

TIA and happy holidays.
