Can I use floating numbers when specifying width in %?  For example:
"width: 5.5%"

From <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata....-def-percentage>
The format of a percentage value (denoted by <percentage> in
this specification) is a <number> immediately followed by '%'.

And from http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata....alue-def-number
A <number> can either be an <integer>, or it can be zero or
more digits followed by a dot (.) followed by one or more
digits.

So I guess the answer is yes.  If this is the case, then
Mozilla/Firefox doesn't honor it.  If I set the with to 99.5% they just
ignore the number after the decimal point.  It seems to work correctly
in IE.

That's nice. Now if only we knew what you were talking about, and if
only you had provided a URL.

What I was trying to say is that according to w3c draft
(http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata....alue-def-number) I should be
able to specify width in % as a real number.  For example:
width: 5.5%.  Mozilla/Firefox are ignoring the part after the decimal
point.  The IE6 works as expected.

Yes but your still not quoting who or what you are replying to, learn a
little netiquette. Quote the relevant parts of the post you are replying
to!

Maybe I was over estimating you intelligence, but then if your incapable of
using a proper newsreader and have to resort to GG maybe not.

Did you read the reference I gave you? Here it is again:

If you're not prepared to follow Usenet conventions, many people will
ignore you. I'm one of them, after this.
