title: Set width in % in context of the site
body: <p>I want a page which looks same in all browsers, so what i was trying to do is setting css: <code>width= x%</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Width is only working with the nearest wrapping tag, like <code>&lt;div&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;</code> </p>
  
  <p>How do I set <code>width</code> in context with the page/website or body?</p>
  
  <p>I checked <code>position: ...</code> out, but thats not what i want </p>
  
  <p>Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;table&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;
              &lt;a href="/lala"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;
                  &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;
                      &lt;strong&gt;writing a book&lt;/strong&gt;
                  &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
              &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;
              &lt;textarea class="form-control" style="width: 45%" disabled&gt;text 1&lt;/textarea&gt;
                  &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;
              &lt;textarea class="form-control" rows="3" cols="50" disabled&gt;text2&lt;/textarea&gt;
  
                  &lt;/td&gt;
              &lt;/tr&gt;
          &lt;/table&gt;
  </code></pre>
