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

From <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#value-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.h...lue-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.

To _what_? We're not mind readers.

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.h...lue-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!

If you don't have anything useful to say buzz-off troll.

and if you can't be arsed to play by the rules that the majority of us
adhere to don't expect help.

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.
