I am sure most of us have enough experience with HTML to know that most HTML
elements allow you to specify the width and/or height attributes as
percentages. However, I have noticed that when setting properties for an
object on a webform (such as a TableCell) programmaticall y, the only way to
do this is by using the Add method of the Attribute property as follows:
webformobject.A ttributes.Add(" width", CStr(33) & "%")
Even though this is not complicated to do, I would like to know why these
objects do not have a direct property. Isn't one of the advantages of using
ASP.NET supposed to be having it generate the code/attributes for us? If
anyone knows a reason why the objects were designed this way, I would like
to know. Thanks.

Possibly because the developer think that it's more common to dynamically
specifing the exact dimension than use percentage.
Consider when you're adding a HtmlControl, the more common way to use the
percentage is to specify the exact string:
MyControl.Attri bute.Add("width ", "50%");
If the user want to use exact dimension, he may need to do some calculation
first, so making the properties integer will be more convinent(I doubt that
if according to W3C decimal/double is legal value for width/height, they
will be chosen instead).

Greetings & Salutations,
You can also (for server controls & a few others) use the Width property as
well as the Unit class. Example:
Label1.Width = Unit.Percentage (55.3)
TableCell2.Heig ht = Unit.Pixel(50)

I want to use javascript to build page elements using onLoad but I
seem to be having trouble defining the width value of an IMG tag if I

If I build the element with HTML it works just fine with:

But if I try to create it within the javascript, it will not work.

Hello there,
is there any way to set the size of images or table cells in HTML not by
pixels but by inches or in millimetres?
The problem behind this is that you never know what kind of output device
the consumers of your webcontent may use. For example they may use
computer screens, but in different sizes and with different resolutions.
That means, on one computer screen a single pixel has a different size
than on another. Just...

Hi everyone,
I've got a question about what makes the "img" element's width/height
attributes valid HTML or XHTML.
First of all, this is a rather theoretical question, but digging through
the W3C HTML 4.01 standard and this group's archive didn't give me a
satisfactory answer, so here we go:
Is <img src="img.png" alt="" width="100px" height="100px"really valid?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
