In HTML tags, using percentage-based attribute values is relatively straightforward. With the exception of table content, percentages always refer to the width or height of the current page area. In tables, percentages refer to the width or height of the immediate container.
In specifying values for style properties, percentages apply differently depending on the tag. For more detailed information, see Tags, Attributes and Cascading Style Properties.
